The Bodies Of 800 Babies Were Found In The Septic Tank Of A Former Home For Unwed Mothers In Ireland  BBC Global / Via youtube.comLocal historian Catherine Corless found the death records for the children as she was researching what was simply known as “The Home,” which operated from 1925 to 1961 and has since been destroyed. The grave was discovered by a group of boys who spotted human remains through cracked concrete. The septic tank is located at the site where The Home once stood, where there is now a playground and a housing development. Unwed mothers were sent to institutions like The Home, run by Catholic nuns, both as a punishment for becoming pregnant out of wedlock and to spare their families the shame of an illegitimate child. Mothers lost all claims to their children, who were regularly put up for adoption, often to families in the United States. The women in these institutions were made to labor without pay for two to three years to atone for their sins. Infant mortality rates at The Home were staggering, as they were at similar homes for unwed mothers.  Connaught Tribune, June 21, 1924 / Via Twitter: @limerick1914“Statistics show a quarter of all babies born outside marriage in the 1930s in Ireland died before their first birthdays,” noted Cahir D’ortery of Irish Central. The causes of death for the children at The Home included “malnutrition, measles, convulsions, tuberculosis, gastroenteritis and pneumonia,” reported The Irish Mail on Sunday. link |

Retroactive abortion. The Irish were never known for their smarts.

Do you think they just let the poor babies die and then buried them?

It is unimaginable. These are religious people to boot.

It makes it all the more likely to happen.

That's really sick! So many lives lost. The innocent of all having to pay the worst price.

Poor babies, how they must have suffered. What a travesty.
