Debbie Manson had committed no crime, but there she was in handcuffs, being led out the back of a police car.

Warning: This story contains details of sexual abuse allegations.

Queensland Health records about the facility are shrouded in secrecy, ordinarily sealed for 100 years, but the ABC has exclusively sighted medical files with patient and family consent.
