    Social Sessions - Fornethy House Scandal (TRIGGER WARNING)#podcast #viral #socialsessions #fypシ #fyp

    Fornethy House of Horrors: Survivors Kellie Fox & Kelly Burns Share Their Harrowing Stories | Social Sessions 🚨 TRIGGER WARNING 🚨 This episode contains detailed discussions of historic child abuse (physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual). Viewer discretion is strongly advised. If you're affected, support resources are listed below. In this raw and emotional episode of Social Sessions, I sit down with two extraordinary Fornethy House survivors: the incredible Kellie Fox and Kelly Burns. These brave women open up about their experiences at Fornethy House – a remote Scottish mansion in Angus that operated as a "respite" facility for vulnerable young girls from Glasgow in the 1960s–1990s. What was sold as fun holidays turned into nightmares of systematic abuse by staff. Hundreds of women have since come forward with harrowing accounts. In 2025, former teacher Patricia Robertson was convicted of abusing 18 girls, yet survivors continue fighting for full inclusion in Scotland’s Redress Scheme, a public apology, and real accountability. Kellie and Kelly share their arrival as children, the daily horrors, the lifelong trauma, and the mysteries that linger: missing personal records, the bizarre 1998 council sale of the derelict property for the strangely patterned £111,222 to private buyer Ian Gray (who never occupied or renovated it), and allegations linking deceased MP Sir Nicholas Fairbairn to visits and abuse. This is one of the most heartbreaking yet inspiring conversations I’ve ever recorded. Their resilience, healing journeys, and determination to speak out prove that survivors can overcome unimaginable pain and turn it into powerful change. A true testament to human strength 💪❤️ If you or someone you know was affected by Fornethy House, you're not alone.

    From Gangster & Rave Scene Chaos to Pastor: The Unbelievable Redemption of Charles Savage Kingsman 🔥✝️ Dive into one of the most powerful, gritty, and hope-filled testimonies you'll ever hear. Charles Savage Kingsman takes us deep into his former life of organised crime, violent football hooliganism, heavy drug dealing in the wild 90s Scottish rave scene, addiction hell, multiple prison stints, dramatic police chases, and a terrifying spiritual encounter during a cocaine-induced psychosis that felt like being dragged through hell itself, hotter, darker, and more evil than anything imaginable. He even faced near amputation and a brutal spiritual attack, but in that darkest moment, he cried out... and everything changed forever. Today, Charles is a transformed man: a Spiritual Care Support Worker at Broken Chains in Ayr, Scotland, a key voice in the Scottish Christian community, and someone actively raising an army for God through places like House of Prayer. His raw edge and no-nonsense faith resonate deeply with the lost, the broken, addicts, ex-offenders, and anyone trapped in cycles of crime, drugs, violence, and despair. He's proof that no one is a hopeless case, if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed! This honest, unfiltered conversation is raw, emotional, confronting, and ultimately life-changing.
