As a young teenager, Nick was sexually abused by James Maden.
James Maden was an 'eminent' psychiatrist.
James Maden was vice-chairman of his church council.
James Maden worked for the UK government's Home Office (responsible for MI5).

Nick was one of dozens of boys who were drugged and sexually abused by James Gordon Maden.
Nick says: "There were a couple of other victims who can't speak out because they took their own lives."
The UK government failed to stop Maden's activities even though "they were common knowledge in the local area."

Jimmy Savile in Leeds.
When he was unwell, Nick was sent to Maden's clinic in Burnley.
Burnley is adjacent to Leeds, where Jimmy Savile used to operate.
Maden told Nick that if he did not let himself be abused he would be detained under the Mental Health Act.
Madsen said to Nick: 'You had better do as I say or I will section you and it will be up to me when you leave this hospital.'
Nick was injected with a "truth drug", sodium amytal, before being sexually abused.
Nick discovered that Maden's activities "were common knowledge among staff at the clinic and local youths."

I am a Burnley Publican whom witnessed James Maden abusing the people of Burnley for many years, through Burnley General Hospital, Lamont Clinic, giving the choice of prescription pharmaceutical drugs ie; Valium, Tamazepam, Methadone Linctus etc to men and women, while he could abuse them through his ways!
ReplyDeleteCommon saying between men about Dr Maden...
"You've been to see Maden... did he make you drop your pants?"
Having fear of going to see a psychiatrist in case you got abused or locked away for the wrong reasons was a well known common fear/joke around Burnley!
There are many stories to tell, not all have died and taken their lives some are still living and still fear the Psychiatrist!

DeleteHow does a community move on from the legacy of a sexual predator?
Since 2012 in particular I have been pressing for changes in child safeguarding/protection law and legislation to benefit children in our community.
Here is a piece I wrote and posted on my Knuffsed Facebook page ( https://t.co/nbzseff81N ) a few weeks ago, re Dr James Gordon Maden.

I was 15 when i went to see him, the receptionist took my contact details so Maden could call me!
ReplyDeleteHe called my parents home phone where i was living at the time, told me i was too young to meet him at the hospital and suggested we should meet in the park? Obviously i felt uneasy about this so I never turned up! Thank God

By the way I am the 15 year old... I am female not male! Maden already knew this, my name said it all... I spoke with him on the phone and he still wanted me to meet him in Queen Victoria Park Burnley!
DeleteChildren of any sex suffered not just boys!
I was one of maden's victims. I reported it to nurses and my mum. Afterwards he intimidated me. He was in control of if I got weekend leave. Released etc; I never said he didn't do it but got wise and stopped saying he did just to get home. Everyone said I was a troubled young man. To the point where I thought did it really happen. I was on some heavy duty drugs which I was hooked on for sixteen years I also fell into alcoholism. The man took so much of my life away from me. I have an appointment on Tues with a solicitor . William Millar. X
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the useful comment.

Thank you for sharing this. Please keep us posted letting us know your still alive after opening the massive can of worms! Cause we both know people have died trying!
DeleteI want to explain to my psychiatrist why I have never asked for help through the proper channels and tried to put these wrong doings to the back of my mind, because I never know who we can trust!
Please let me know your outcome, cause I want to come clean too!
Thanks
It's unfortunate that Dr Margaret Mary Slack (1927-2008) died before she could be brought to justice for her mistreatment of young patients at the Mary Burbury Unit in Burnley.
ReplyDeleteThis notoriously angry and confrontational psychiatrist worsened the mental health of so many children.
I was a nurse on the Mary Burbury, Burnley in 1988. "Margaret Mary Slack" was indeed disliked by all as authoritarian and frankly unstable. She DID do a lot of harm, you're right. An enthusiastic user of Mellaril, as I recall. Dr Slack would've performed lobotomies on the exam couch in her office had it been allowed. Sister Howarth was a big fan. It was her husband, Dr Chatterjee, I felt sorry for. I wasn't surprised when he died in 1996 - sudden heart attack. Dr Margaret Slack was a good friend of Dr James Maden and it's perfectly possible that she knew all about his activities but, like so many in her profession, helped to close ranks. Kindred demons.
DeleteI wonder if you was a nurse when I was there, think it was 87-88.
DeleteWhen Dr Maden got out of jail after being sentenced in 1993, he was banned from working in Burnley General Hospital, but he was allowed to work in Blackpool, doing the same job he did in Burnley?
ReplyDeleteIs our NHS/Gov crazy? Why would they allow him to work anywhere as a psychiatrist once he'd been caught?
Once word got out that Dr Maden was out of jail and now working in Blackpool, many drug abusers from Burnley moved to Blackpool to still receive the drugs/meds he prescribed them previously!
His abused victims list must be endless!
hi.i was locked up on 9b and then moved over to 21 when i was 16!! when they started trusting me to go to hospital shop i kept bumping into a lad (19) called michael who was on 9b. so we used to chat (as much as we could both of us doped up on largactil!!) anyway one morning i was waiting for him and he wasn't around.i thought he might have been back to being locked in again.but one of the staff on our ward told me he was dead.he had committed suicide with one of those horrible rubbery pillow cases and some fly spray. his doctor was Madens. RIP MICHAEL WALSH 1983
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this guy on Queen Victoria Park around 1985!
ReplyDeleteHe was sat on the park bench with a young boy infant/junior!
I was wondering why the boy wasn't playing he was in deep conversation with this scary looking guy!
I really hope the boy is okay!
Has anybody or any newspapers got a photo of Dr Maden?
ReplyDeleteI was convinced the pic above was him? My memory of Dr Maden is very similar to the pic above but with bushier eyebrows?
He was supposed to have died in 2010 same as Cyril Smith?
Tamir Pardo became the former Director of the Mossad, on January 1, 2011. The appointment was announced by Israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on November 29, 2010!
He looks just like Dr Maden but with a face lift? What if Dr Maden isn't dead and this is another cover up?
On this day Dr Maden will be in his 80's
I can assure you Tamir Pardo is NOT Dr. James Gordon Maden.
DeleteI worked with Maden for years, i will never forget his smug supercillious face.
Maden is dead.
I saw him when I was 14 in 1975 my life was forever changed ..I was part of court case ..
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to trouble you... Does the pic above resemble the man you saw?
DeleteHi I cant see a pic only a man with mi5 and that's not him ..is he on billboard at top with several pics because it's very unclear .I would know him if I saw him
ReplyDeleteI was at Mary burbury unit I think around 1986-1987. I only have very vague memories of the whole ordeal. I think I remember a sports teacher, Mr Rob?!?, also a Mr Brown? Like I say my memory of it isn't great. There used to be a ride on elephant outside,also a games room. Couple of lads names I seem to remember.. David, think he had trouble with his leg, maybe lived Padiham way. We sometimes shared a taxi on weekend leave. I was roughly 10 or 11 yrs old and was there 12 months ish. Also a lad called Leonard, aka Leonard the long legged lizard. I often wonder if these people are still around and what they are doing now. They were part of my life at Mary burbury. I remember being locked in a room with a 1 way glass window, a bed and sink, next to a room where they dished out meds. That was my punishment for attempting to abscond.
