Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen apologised Tuesday to hundreds of victims of abuse at state-run children's homes in the post-war period, as some of them openly wept. "I want to look each of you in the eye and say sorry. Sorry for the injustice that has been done to you and your loved ones," Frederiksen told dozens of victims at her official Marienborg residence, some visibly moved and crying.
"In the name of Denmark, sorry." An official report from 2011, dubbed the Godhavn Report after one of the homes, found that children at 19 state-run homes had been subjected to sexual, physical and psychological abuse between 1945 and 1976.
