TIME-OUT OR TORTURE? Sex offender put kids 'through hell' in time-out room The conviction of a sex offender who preyed on troubled children at an Auckland residential school has prompted the government to create a special helpline amid fears more students may have been abused. Last week, former child social worker Graeme McCardle, 58, was found guilty on 15 out of 24 sexual and physical abuse charges he faced at a re-trial at the High Court at Auckland. Two of his alleged victims told the Sunday Star-Times they have no doubt there are other former students from Waimokoia Residential School who have never come forward about the sexual and physical abuse they suffered. The school in Bucklands Beach, Auckland, opened in 1980 and was deemed a "last resort" for children with severe behavioural and emotional problems. Education Minister Anne Tolley closed it last year. Two women and a man had alleged in court that McCardle subjected them to gross abuse when they were children. The charges related to 20 complainants covering a time span from the 1980s to 2007.

Endocrine System | Endocrine Awareness Center for Health The body’s internal environment is monitored and regulated by a chemical communication network. Working alongside the nervous system, endocrine glands produce hormones that control and coordinate many bodily functions. These hormones regulate the body’s growth, metabolism, sexual development, emotional responses and mental processes. The major glands of the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal, ovaries and testes. The pancreas is also a part of this system; it has a role in hormone production as well as in digestion. Hormones are powerful chemicals that work by altering the activity of their target cells. Although hormones come into contact with essentially all cells of the body they produce an effect only on certain cells called target cells. A hormone can have several different target cells, though these do not all react to the hormone in the same way. Different factors stimulate the production and release of hormones.
