John Smyth’s son describes the abuse he suffered as a child

PJ Smyth talks to Channel 4 News’ Cathy Newman about the physical abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of his “monstrous” father John Smyth.

The Makin review detailed Smyth’s horrific abuse of those he met at public schools and Christian summer camps.

What is less well known, is how Smyth senior controlled and abused his own family, who are only now facing up to the devastating toll on their lives.
