[edit] Karl Toft
In the 1990s, there emerged an major scandal in New Brunswick when it turned out boys being held in an juvenile home named the Kingsclear Youth Training Centre in the 1970s-80s were subjected to all sorts of physical and sexual abuse, especially by an sadistic pedophile guard named Karl Toft. Toft was convicted of 34 counts of sexual abuse, and according to most estimates was guilty of least 200 sexual assaults. There have been numerous allegations by the victims that Hatfield was not only aware of the abuse at Kingsclear, but was also personally involved in the abuse. Certainly, Hatfield and Toft knew one each another. I don’t know much there is to all this, but at very least I think it should be mentioned in the article.A.S. Brown 15:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
