Tragic report, more than 9,000 babies have died in the homes of <x0 minus mothers with children”

Three thousand pages of a newly released detailed report have shed light on one of the most tragic events in Ireland's history, not alone.

The Irish government's report focuses on the so - called “homes of mothers with children”, institutions funded by the government and the Catholic Church that for some 80 years, until the year they were officially closed, have housed tens of thousands of women, even in minor age, who were pregnant by an extramarital relationship.

A sin “ ”, in the mentality of a conservative society like Ireland of those years, that needed places where this “turp” of “with silence, work, and abuses that culminated up to real crimes.

According to the report, these “domestic” often also served as adoption agencies for numerous couples in need, often in secret.

Physical and psychological abuses of more than 56 thousand unmarried women, described in the report, are overshadowed by numbers of innocent infant mortality in those institutions.

According to the report, about 9,000 babies have lost their lives in 18 institutions scattered throughout the country. Nothing was done practically to help the pregnant one, and the survivors could call themselves very fortunate. Massive graves, even with 700 babies together, have been found in several local municipalities, as in Galway.

Pope Francis in 2018, during the first visit of a pope to that country in the past four decades, apologised for the homes of <x0 mother mothers with children”, while tomorrow it is expected that Prime Minister Michel Martin will seek a public pardon for the horror of homes that should protect from shame, and have in fact shamed an entire society.
