RIP Lewis Blayse

.
Here is link to TV show Four Corners episode "Homies" which aired in Australia last night about abuse in children's homes

Interviewed is blogger Lewis Blayse who unfortunately died yesterday, just before this show aired. Sad. Perhaps trauma of the Royal Commission or having his story told on television was too much?  So sad.  He is a powerful force and will truly be missed on this planet. His website lives on at lewis blayse dot net linked below, here is the Aussie TV show Four Corners:
