Neglect and abuse: The Irish government is launching a criminal investigation into the discovery of 800 dead children found in the septic tank at a home for unwed mothers run by nuns in western Ireland.
Reports
indicate the children were malnourished and neglected by the nuns,
which is suspected of causing many of the premature and tragic deaths.
Hundreds of infants and toddlers in a home for “fallen women” and their
“illegitimate” children are believed to have been buried in a septic
tank next to the former home for single mothers and their children.
