Details of her cruel behaviour at the former Renfrewshire residential care facility emerged when she was brought to justice earlier this week.

One victim as around six years old at the time, and gave evidence that he was abused at the home between 1969 and 1970, and explained that Ramsay would deliberately destroy his toys and possessions.Another told the jury about the treatment she endured at the hands of Ramsey between 1972 and 1973, when she was between eight and 10.
