The mother of boy sexually abused by his doctor is taking legal action against the hospital that employed him, claiming more should have been done to keep him safe.
The child, who is 14 now, suffers from a serious blood disorder and started visiting paediatric haematologist Dr Myles Bradbury at Addenbrooke's in Cambridge when he was eight.
"I thought he was nice to me and he helped me out if I was having trouble at school," he said.
But when he was about 10, the abuse began.
"He told me take off my trousers and take off my pants as well and told me to lie on the bed and then he said he was going to look for bruises and he touched my privates."
The boy feared what Bradbury was doing to him was not right, but decided to trust him as he was a doctor.
He estimates he was abused more than 40 times, sometimes when his parents were on the other side of the curtain.
But his mother believes a system should have been place to ensure her son was not left unsupervised with Bradbury.
She said: "I think they should have had more staff so when the doctor is in the room by themselves with the patient they should have somebody with them. I think that's where it went wrong.
"It makes me sick, angry, stressed.
"It just hurts to think about it.
"If you don't put it in the back of your mind it just haunts you and you just can't bear to see your son suffer so much."
She insists the case being brought against the hospital is not about the money, but to make sure that no other children fall victim to a predator like Bradbury.
The 41-year-old pleaded guilty to 25 offences involving 18 boys.
On Monday he was jailed for 22 years, prompting more families to come forward for the first time.
One mother has contacted the same firm of solicitors that is representing the 14-year-old's family, along with two other victims.
Renu Daly, from Neil Hudgell Solicitors, said: "What we are hoping to achieve is that these families get some sort of compensation to ensure sure their children are looked after in the future to get over the suffering that they have had.
"Also we would hope the trust would take heed, and other trusts, to ensure there is a policy across the board… where there is appropriate supervision."
A spokesman from Addenbrooke's said it would inappropriate to comment on any legal action at this stage, but confirmed an independent investigation into the abuse at the hospital is due to start later this month.
