Watch Part 2 here: • Ireland's Mother and B...
Six years ago, Catherine Corless, a local historian from County Galway in the Republic of Ireland, discovered that hundreds of babies and young children had died in a home for unmarried pregnant women, run by Roman Catholic nuns in her hometown of Tuam.
Further research revealed that many of the babies had died of malnutrition and other forms of neglect. Most of their bodies had been disposed of, officially unrecorded, in an old septic tank buried in the grounds of the home.
Angry survivors and relatives called for an investigation - for the remains to be exhumed, identified and properly buried, for compensation and immediate government action. Concerned families began to ask questions about other homes run by the Church in Ireland and how many other babies had died in equally mysterious circumstances.
In 2015, in response to publicity and pressure in Dail Eireann, the lower house of the Irish Parliament, the government announced it was setting up an official Commission of Investigation. The body was required to provide answers by 2018. Indeed, some modest interim findings have since been released, but two years since its official publication date, the full report has still not seen the light of day.
This June, partially in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the report was again delayed until October 2020.
In its absence, the suspicion, frustration and anger of relatives have mushroomed. And the once shameful secret of a single small rural town is developing into a broader and more profound national scandal; an affair which goes to the heart of the close relationship between successive Irish governments and the Catholic Church.
In two special episodes of People and Power, from filmmakers Callum Macrae, Mark Williams and Al Jazeera correspondent Laurence Lee, we investigate deeply disturbing allegations that both the Irish state and its religious orders were responsible for a systematic decades-long regime of institutional neglect and exploitation involving the death of thousands of children.

I'm Irish and this is the most shameful part of my history...
Now often it's 'contextualized' as a problem with the church...
It's so much worse than that...
These women & children where first abandoned by the 'fathers'
Then by their 'family' ( who where at times the 'father' ) and in turn their 'communities'
After that, the church and state played their roll...
The list of 'people' that failed them is long and dark...
Of course all this 'wrongdoing' was compounded by the silence
...and that 'silence' is owned by a great number of my countrymen to this day!.
I sure hope all these people get some form of justice, but at least for now, this is out in the open. I was raised Catholic but renounced in my early 20s cause I saw many of those affiliated with the church using religion to justify and encourage many injustices and abuses. This is a small group but unfortunately it is a group that matters because they are the ones most people look to for guidance.
It still shocks me what people are willing to do to each other if they have a religious belief that says they can treat others like this. I don't believe that any of those involved were even believers, just twisted people who used religion and the social norms of the times to abuse others. How can you possibly starve a baby to death and think you are going to get eternal life?
Something like this can't go unpunished but with all the people involved in both the church and government I fear it may end up being a case where they issue a meager statement that they "made a mistake" but no actual apology will be issued nor will anyone be held accountable. They might scapegoat someone at the lower levels to make it appear as if they are taking some action....yeah, unfortunately I am pretty jaded....but I still hope they will get justice.
@@VideoCesar07 One of the many things I was left to contemplate...
Was which was worse?... people born with a warped understanding of 'sexuality' or the people that both facilitated and enabled them...
In a weird sense I can understand the corrupted mind...but for the life of me...I can never understand those that just chose to 'look the other way' and then have the audacity to call themselves people of faith...that one eludes me to this day...
In most cases, the father or family can't be blamed - this was the law: if a woman became pregnant our of wedlock, she was sentenced to a mother & baby home. She(and baby) was the evidence, not he, that un-Catholic things had happened.
@@simonjohnston9488 My friend I think you'll find there were "Irish solutions to Irish problems" 'available'...
So for example my father's 'mother' was also my fathers 'sister'
Not all turned their backs on their children...although that did at times create it's own 'problems'
I gave no one a 'free pass' and I will certainly never give the so-called families either.... they were the worse of the lot...
Their betrayal was against 'nature' itself...
It’s disgusting that we have to learn this ourself like the school won’t teach us this bc this catholic is this holy and peaceful intuition is so covered up and we’re still only finding out info it’s disgraceful
How many of the women were raped and impregnated by their own fathers, brothers, uncles? The men got away with it, no punishment for them at all.
By the priests not by their father or brother or uncle, watch the video, moron
I'm inclined to agree with you prokkle, and I'm sure in the case of rape or assault by family it would just be another shameful secret and something else to be covered up. it may or may not be on the video but it is absolutely possible and just as likely as abuse by the clergy. such a load of rubbish shaming and blaming the girls and childeren for the sins of men and the church and nuns.
@@johnlopez1604
Many young girls ended up in these institutions after being raped by their father, brother, uncle, neighbour or family friend.
@@bernicewade9796 lol not really.
@@johnlopez1604
You're wrong, they were raped by members of their own family as well as married men and people in power. Don't deny the truth just because it doesn't suit you, these women have suffered enough abuse without people picking and choosing what they feel comfortable believing.
My father was born in 1933 to an unwed mother in Ireland. He finally found his family this year, he is 88 years old. After he was born , his mother paid a woman to care for him while she went to England to make a life for him. Meanwhile, the Irish government took him from this woman, changed his last nam and his birthdate and put him in an orphanage. He was fostered out but never adopted. His mother searched and searched for him but couldn’t find him because of the name and birthdate change. He is so happy to finally have his family and to know he was actually wanted all along…
Did he ever finally meet his family?
@@bladegriggs4090 yes, he has met many first cousins but the family surrounding his siblings (he has siblings on both sides) don’t want to “upset them” because they’re up there in age. He is so happy to face met the family he has, he will be 90 in May … Its just not right what the Irish government did to people, my father missed out on a whole lifetime of love from his mother and family
The fact that his mother passed never knowing who or where her baby was is horrendous. God bless her.
Ireland is still in denial about it's violent and abusive past. As children in national school in the sixties we also suffered abuse and violence
The people know and Acknowledge what went on because it caused a ripple trough generations, its are state and government who refuse to Acknowledge what went on, the church are well protected!
Is there a documentary about that?
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world ?
Why National schools,I went to a private school,beaten by nuns with the side of a ruler if you couldn't answer a question. I'm now an atheist, have no truck with religion. I can see the harm it can do to people, makes them vicious instead of kind
Ireland turned over most of the education of it's children to the Catholic church who took advantage of people and used them as slaves!
It's not just Ireland who should shoulder the burden in this situation. And to think that these people fought each other over religion Catholic vs. Protestant! My family left Ireland for America slowly but surely. One member came to America, made enough to bring the family and that continued for half a century, all because the Catholic church had their dirty hands in everything! SMH
Nothing about the Catholic Church suprises me anymore! My heart cries for all these mothers & their babies.. 😔💞
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
The Catholic Church is evil personified.
Horrible bunch arnt they!!! Evil....x
All lies, the real story is out now. We all knew the Graveyard was there, there were no septic tanks in them days. The developers of the site, dug up consecrated ground and built houses there. Some of the remains are in a landfill. No nun threw a baby into a tank, the children were not starved. The girls were traumatised having been raped and abused by the very people who should have protected them then they were sent away from their home and told not to bring a baby home. Read Brian nugent book @tuam babies. Check you tube for Brian nugent and Eugene jordan two real historians who tell the truth
The men of Ireland took up arms and fought for freedom but they wouldn't fight for their own flesh and blood. Shame on them
I am Irish and I used to be Catholic. Shame on the Priests and Nuns for what they did to these little children. This is sick!
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world?
I also used to be Catholic, one I read the bible I found that Catholic teaching are not of God.
The high mortality rate for infants is shocking. Many of these children probably died because they failed to thrive due to neglect. It is scandalous that some children did not receive enough food. The fathers of the babies were never held responsible. The basic problem was a society that valued sanctimony over compassion.
In the first 2 - 3 months a mother has to breastfeed every 3 - 5 hours (also during night so she gets less sleep and they could not have the mothers in large sleeping rooms with 20 women or so, because the few with very small babies would constantly wake up the others). Sometimes the baby is not good at suckling or they are weak (then the invervalls for breastfeeding may be even shorter until they get stronger). There are beginners problems (sore nipples. milk fever, weak or clumsy baby, nervous mothers). So breastfeeding is time consuming and can be fickle especially for inexperienced mothers, it can take 30 minutes if the child drinks slowly, and the body of the woman releases Oxytocin the bonding hormon - which also makes the woman tired (she is supposed to rest and supposed to eat well).
Even as the babies grow breastfeeding takes up time and the mothers cannot do work away from the home where the babies are, they have to be available every few hours. And it is not possible to feed the children with watered down milk from animals. Children older than 6 - 8 months might survive it - but it is not a good option. At all. But if they tried that (in order to get more work out of the mothers) of course that lead to more deaths. Bad for the digestion of the child, no immunity imparted by the antibodies and the vitamins the mother passes on with the milk, wrong ratio of fat, protein and the wrong kind of fats and proteins. And also hygienic problems. As long as the mother keeps her nipples clean her milk will always be safe to drink for the child and the milk has always the right temperature.
Now - all of that time consuming but necessary care messes with the intent to exploit the women with long hours of forced labour.
The baby suckling stimulates future and more ! milk production. if the women are not getting enough time to breastfeed or if the breaks are too long, their milk productionw will be reduced or even dry up. Likely this was a major factor in the malnutrition of the little ones and in the slow starvation.
I also assume if a child was born disabled, premature, weak or if it cried a lot - they were singled out for starvation.
Very very sick we need justice for these babies and moms who lost thier kids
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world !
Why is the Church not paying for this? Financially and MORALLY?
It goes far beyond this, my uncle was sent to a home with Christian brothers, children were taken during the night and never seen again.
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world ?
So sorry for your uncle.but can you tell me if there a place to write. I think I’m one of the babies that was adopted in the United States from Ireland. I was always told this. I’ve had a good life I don’t want nothing other than to know my birthday Mother’s Name. If anybody knows somewhere I can write let me know thanks.
@@p.mckenzie2921 I'm sure there is but I don't know it, he died young, a mysterious "hit and run" ...coverup. good luck on your search, hope it's more joyful.
There was something similar in the Netherlands, unwed mothers were also sent to special homes to give birth, sometimes they were restrained and even blindfolded to prevent any bonding with the child, who was then put up for adoption. One woman later found out she'd been living in the same street as her son for years.
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
В Бельгии такие же вещи происходили.
Shoot, something similar to this happened in the US in St. Louis. No babies died that I know of, however, babies were taken away from poor black women and put up for adoption and were told their babies died and there were several hundred.😢 This wasn’t religion, it was the hospital making money for adoptions.😢
@@Figgatella Sick 😓
I feel sorry for these victims . Only today , 10th Jan 2021 has it been released that 9000 babies died in the 18 homes that were investigated . Is it any wonder the church attendances are now at an all time low .
What is so sad , is that no priest or nun will ever do an hour in jail . They were only interested in taking advantage of these poor girls .Turning them into slaves . Why did this programme not investigate the financial records . No doubt the church will never have to compensate these victims as they have always had some sort of a grip on the government .
NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO INVESTIGATE CATHOLIC MONEY....EVER
I was born in a Mother and Baby Home. I was abducted and sent to the USA.
Even Mother Teresa has been vilified for her cruelty to the poor and the needy.
Yes hearing about her was another shock, Hitchens was a cynic, there are things I dislike about him, but we owe him a realistic view on "Mother Teresa". In hindsight, she must have cashed in millions and millions for the Vatican. And her reputation as saint was of course established by the Catholic Pr machine. Media went gladly along, it seemed to be such a good story. There ARE certainly good and deserving Catholic (or Christian) charities, but those never get hyped as much. Of course not they are smaller outfits and they do not funnel money to the Vatican - if they get any money they use if for people in need.
So much pain 😢 My heart's breaking for those mothers and children. How can people treat each other so horribly... torture kids... awful awful world..
Especially Nuns .
These are religious people?? These are horrible atrocities !! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
Babylon the great christendom
Agreed!!! This is horrendous and for all these years too!!!!
So much for protecting innocent babies
My mother was taken away from my Nan when she was eight months old , my Nan tried for 5 years to get her back till the church told her that she had died , it was untrue my mother lived in a home all her childhood was was regularly beaten and not fed , my mum eventually found my Nan in England when she was 18 , my Nan never got over what happened and the treatment they both suffered , the church and government need to pay for what they did to hundreds for young unmarried women and to their innocent children, we will remember them , rip nana
I'm still waiting for a fellow Irish person to admit the Irish people also played a part in what was done to us
@Kruger Fuchs Ireland’s shame is on the Church, the State and the Irish people who subjected their daughters to familial and clergy abuse and to the population at large who knew what was going on and walked on by. They are as guilty. All the reports, apologies and compensation will never make it go away.
Why isn't this surprising to see the Catholic church involved in another horrific crime!?!
@Josh You are right, thanks.
You are 100% right my friend
It wasn't just about the Church actually. I would read some of the testimonies from the children. Many blame the state.
It was all lies.
No one was made go into the homes and they could also leave anytime they wanted. Tuam children's homes was run by the local authority and not the nuns. The nuns did not murder any children.
My whole heart goes out to these people who went through this awful suffering, i can only hope true karma is released on to the perpetrators of those who were complicit in this truely horrible crime against the innocent. Also all those who profited, and those who kept there mouths shut as thoroughly nasty conspirators. Thankyou Katherine Corless for making the stand for justice and speaking out for those in the ground long forgotten.
This is horrendous but the Catholics are still doing some of this stuff, My heart goes out who all who went throw these horrible things and the little souls who didn't make it.
I was put in a home for catholic unwed mothers in Tx when I was 13 in 1981 after being rapped by my own father, We were left alone in our rooms 24/7 apart from when they delivered food to the rooms and when we had to see the DR, and we were not allowed to make friends with the other girls there.
The girl in the room next to me would talk to me via a vent in the wall and she said I was lucky because I had pregnancy-induced diabetes, so I got better food than the other girls.
Not long before I had the baby there was a night house mother and she would let us out to watch some TV each night but she was fired for being too softhearted.
I went into labor and was knocked out in my bed in my room. I woke up the next day in the hospital having had a cesarean birth and they told me my baby boy died.
I wasn't allowed to go back home I was just made homeless and left there at the hospital with nowhere to go. Much later in my 40s, my baby now an adult found me, Her adoptive parents had paid the catholic unwed mothers $25.000 dollars for my baby and I never signed the adoption papers.
Ones I knew he didn't die I dug into it and found I had twins a boy and a girl and they broke them up and sold them to two families. So they made $50.000 dollars out of my pain. I cried in so much pain for my lost babies over the years, Even once I was married and had my only daughter with my marriage.
The Catholic church is appalling. All the abuse, raps children, killed children, and mothers. disgraceful!
This is why I want nothing to do with any religion.
I am so sorr y that happened to you.
Hope they are doing ok.
I’m so so very sorry you went through this awful injustice. I hope your father met justice.
my mother in law kidnapped her own baby girl and fled ireland to england with the help of a nun secretly her daughter who is now a woman went over to ireland to find that wonderful nun unfortunately she had died before she could tell her thankyou she found her grave and placed flowers on her grave her mother suffers for the rest of her life with PTSD her treatment in the home was barbaric however her thankyou was to call her daughter after the one off nun that saved her
So.sad.,
So many people let these young mother's and their children down, so sick and so sad. God will deal with those people.
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
God is responsible for this though?
why didnt the mothers of these children fight back? Im a woman and i would do all in my power to have my baby back! i dont have children yet and im 33 but I do want kids, its is heartbreaking!
@@coldcoffee1506 No...He is not.
I have no words, just tears
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world ?
It is amazing that only the women got punished. The men, who often raped or were pedophiles and adulterers suffered no consequences.What would God say to the "church" that allegedly served him
Are they ever going to dig up the babies and do dna tests for these families? This is so horrific!
Where’s all the pro-lifers now?
They have zero to do with this freemason agenda, pro life means pro life, not pro death inside the mind of pro lifers, pro life is for every religion.
@@GardenPC Yes, they are pro-life until the baby is born, and then they leave it adrift and turn their attention to the next unborn baby that needs saving.
As for the Freemasons, they have nothing to do with this.
@@GardenPC well said this woman has no idea what she speaks about as she's a baby killer like the Catholic Church..
Abortion is a human rights glad America is protecting the rights of women every were, abortion is legal all over the world.
Still here
I don't think it was really shrouds they were wrapped in. I think maybe just blankets.
these acts of religion, government and societal acceptance are illogical
Rather than telling congregations not to bring shame on the church by speaking about these things. Shouldn't the church have thought about the shame it brings on itself for allowing these things to happen, rather than trying to shame people into becomming complicit in the crimes agreeing to be part of the cover up.
If you want to do something for the victims and make their lives count for something speak up so this sort of thing can never happen again...and what happens to the church was brought on by itself!
It is not just the Church which were to blame. We are an ignorant hypocritical people. It is only a matter of time before Nursing homes in this country will have to be investigated Again. A lot of abuse and neglect still going on here. I think it applies to anywhere there are vulnerable people.
This needs to be talked about more. The church, Catholic, Christian....have had bloodied hands for years...
One of the most degrading and disgraceful spectacles was the parading of these girls in religious festivals. Surrounded by police. It reminded me of prisoners of war being paraded, corralled like animals on show then back again to the launderette, striped and back into corse uniforms to work. ✊☘️
Why hasn't this been taped off as a Crime Scene? Where are the Gardai and why aren't they implementing the law to investigate these murders?
I have Irish nephews and nieces; this is quite depressing; only positive emotion, if any at all is- in the midst of such a scandal, I believe a few have had the courage and conscience to investigate, report and even apologize for the past crimes.
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
Surely they should pay for what they have done... This cannot be forgotten.... R.I.P to all those little children babies 💕
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
Please remember that they do not represent all catholic Christians. The way they have acted is completely un-Christian. They have broken three of the Ten Commandments,
1. Do not lie : they were covering up murder
2. Do not murder. (They were complicit in abuse)
3. Do not use the lords name in vain (doing evil deeds in the name of god).
Pretty true
So where were all the good catholics?
Vatican needs to pay up
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
I've been watching a lot about this. I'm glad to see this recent video and hope that the way will be open for finding answers.
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
Yes
The Irish chose their religion, to pledge loyalty to the Pope and be subservient to his Catholic priests and nuns and placing them above the law.
It's a shame innocent children had to suffer because of it.
It wasn't a choice. It was beaten Into them.
The pope & the Vatican are complicit in these crimes against women & children who suffered at the hands of brutal & murderous Catholic nuns & 'so called' Catholic Clergy; all are guilty of sins against women, children & the wider humanity. When even the modern day Irish State continues to collude with its master; the Catholic Church, they are no better than the German State & the Nazi's in WWII & even they were punished. The Irish State has blood on its hands & cannot hide from the truth & victim testimonies that they seek to conceal, though the truth is already out there; you fools; it's global knowledge now! Government after Irish Government has sought to conceal their own 'home grown' IRISH 'Haulocost', the incarceration & murder of 1000's of Irish Women, babies & Children in your Catholic Church & State run institutions. Compensate the survivors of your 'state run' crimes with your EU grants & subsidies, tell your Pope & the Vatican to pay for your own sins & those of your Catholic & mysogenistic keepers. You will be judged & duly punished for your crimes, if not in this life, then thereafter. Born & raised in London & grateful for it.
The Irish State should not be counted as a modern day member of the European Union, though sadly I suspect that many other member States in the EU have similar secrets, crimes & shame if they are like Ireland & Catholic.
Choice? They had a choice? Are you being serious right now?
Choice? Are u braindead
They have made it very hard to get these records for Irish citizens, but I wonder if Americans who were born and adopted in the USA could sue to get them since we have different laws. Probably the best way for these people to find relatives is by doing a DNA test and put the result on these sites where you can see people past historical records. My Mom was adopted in the 1930 and was told the family were from Ireland but live in the USA for years. Well the agency never released the record for my Mom so she could find her other 9 siblings before my Mother died. However we did find my the family though DNA and one of my Mom sister is still alive. She was 8 when my mother was born and remember they were super poor and when her Mom or my birth Mom had triplets they just could not afford them. The parent demanded that all 3 children got adopted together, which did happen. My mother always knew she was adopted but she always wonder what her birth family looked like ect. Even as a grandchildren I wish I had the opportunity to meet some of these blood relatives before they died. However the other issue is some birth mothers do not want to be found. For example my cousin gave up her baby when she got pregnant at 15 years old ( actually her parent forced her to). One day, approximately 20 years latter, this young women just shows up at my cousin door and say she is her daughter she adopted out and that she got off easy and should be require to pay for her college.. Well the girl looks just like my cousin so no deny that.. However the problem was that when my cousin got pregnant it was like a family secret and my Aunt and Uncle shipped my cousin to another state to hide the pregnancy and have the baby.. My cousin brother and sisters did not even know she had a baby. My Aunt and Uncle at the time were probably thinking they were doing the right thing by hiding the pregnancy and keep my cousin good family name, but family secrets never go well. Fortunately once the child got off you owe me this ( when my cousin did not have the money anyway) they developed a good relationship now. But if you find your birth family understand they may not have the same thrill, when they first fine out. The other issue you need to watch out for is scams also.. At one time adoption paperwork was sealed. Then they open it up but both the birth family and adoptee had to be looking for each other and now I think they are open for adopted children and family after you file the paperwork and possible fee for the research and printing cost. But we cannot look, at history and see things in the same contents as today because we are doing some horrible thing today that we make excuse for all the time for and those who follow us will see us as either horrible people or people who were doing their best in the society they lived in at the time. Basically what happened in Ireland and GB the whole society allowed this to happen and if people are angry about they need to do more then have 20 people at a protest. Even the women family were part of this. Many women left these places and tried to go home only to have family members and neighbor send them back to these horrible places. Most of these women were required to do hard labor even though the government was paying money to the church to take care of the mothers and babies.
Justice for these babies justice why are they mass protests this human trafficking

Wolf in sheep clothing
Really sucks that the women were punished and the terrible men were allowed to walk around no worries for them!!
This makes me want to say ugly words to describe these devils in disguise
say them they deserve it my heart is bitter reading all this i was brought up in the west of Ireland and have some bad memories too men had to be respected regardless but i am glad things have changed a bit now women stand up for themselves more now
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
Absolutely terrible,as someone of the same religion i find myself getting more and more distant from the church,i now refer to myself as being a catholic with a very small 'c' so sad and some people have to be held accountable,vile vile crimes like this should not be covered up any more. God Bless the Women and poor little children they will be forever in my prayers
google Jansenism in Ireland.
They hypocrites of the Church has made me realize that all of this man-made religion is more about telling lies to control society. I do not believe in much of the Church belief anyway especially with communion. Sorry but a Priest praying over a piece of bread does not turn into Jesus body except in a in symbolic way and certainly not factual. I love how right at the beginning of the Bible that God only shows favor to one tribe and all the rest are unholy. Or that God made a promise land of just this one area when you have big huge Earth. Instead I see the Bible as stories of people who were trying to explain thing they did not have the knowledge we have today and that the detail are not what is important as much as why is the story being told. I mean does anyone in their right mind really think Noah could get a male and female of the 100's of millions of animal species in his lifetime let alone 40 days that are all over the world. I doubt you could do it today with 100 people helping. In fact it would be impossible because some animal can only live in certain habitat . A good example of that would be a koala bear because they can only fresh leave that only grow in Australia ( which is why you do not see them in zoos except in Australia) But I do see something like a man like Noah who kept losing his livestock every flood and has a dream to get and a male and female of the animals that are important in Noah world and put them on boat. Back then most people never traveled more then 100 miles from where they were born so Noah world would have been in a much smaller area then our knowledge we have today. But if you read the gospels the later the gospel from the time of Jesus's death the more miracles Jesus is written about . Umm! Yet so many people believe the Bible as word of complete facts. Well if you can gaslight people believing this stuff what else can you con people with.
@@JAM661 ???🤣🤣🤣
I used to be Catholic, my suggestion is to actually read the bible and for your own eyes how Catholic teaching have nothing to do with God of the bible.
@@moniquew327 look for me, Mary is the one I look to for inspiration, so my belief in God and jesus is the Holy Trinity! But Thanks I'm actually going through a blessed time at the moment, God Bless you and your Family 💚 from Glasgow Scotland 🍀🏴🍀
Poor children 💔
Strange situation here, my Grandfather was born to my unmarried Great Grandmother and both came to Liverpool (he may have been born here). They remained close to one another, living in the same village, able to see each other regularly though he was put into foster homes and she worked as a church housekeeper. I wonder was there some authority behind that decision...shed previously worked for a doctor in Ireland.
That's all you should know about the christianity and religion itself.
Heartbreaking
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
Agreed!!! Very
I lived near an orphanage and each Sunday we went to feed the babies. I was only ten years old at the time. We played with the babies as if they were our dollies. When i started school I saw first-hand experience of how girls from the orphanage how different they were treated by some teachers. I am very lucky as at 19 years old i became pregnant and my parents were so supportive of me otherwise I could have ended up in a place like this as this practice did not end up until 1996 in ireland. 🇮🇪 By the way there was nothing about mercy or charity in either the mother and baby home or industrial schools.
And these people say that the Soviet Union was an evil empire!
Yup!!
Soviet era was most advanced in that time . Science and mathematics was at the peak.
And the government tried to say it was the people of Ireland s fault for U.K.
It's so disgusting n disheartening.....rip to all those innocent souls......
it's all unadulterated evil
I'm heartbroken watching this
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world ?
This is why i left my faith.
As an irish woman with a sin and daughter not married I'm very very disgusted I'm not lyin wen j say way I was treated by some nurses staff at portumula hospital galway my son born in 2001 I wudnt go bck had my daughter in mullingar hospital what a difference she was born 2004
The only shame and sin lies at the feet of the Catholic church!! And they dare to this day act as if they have done nothing wrong!
This is just one of many atrocities the Catholic church has done against humanity!!
I was raised Catholic, turned away from the Catholic church and found true Christianity. Gods message is love each other, not judge and shame anyone because let he without sin cast the first stone! I pray for these women that they find love and peace all the days of their lives.
Not to forget the willing collusion with the state. I wonder what would have happened if that inspector (mentioned in the video) would have dared to note that too many children died (even by comparsion with neglected kids raised in poor families). Or if he had drawn the obvious conclusion about John which was emaciated - but not because he could not or would not eat. As he noted, the boy was ravenous. Likely he also supported the opinion that the boy was "retarded" and agreed with the nuns to dispose of the child. They did not have to nerve to outright kill the children, but slow starvation also worked. And as long as the child was still (somewhat) alive the nuns got the payments for them (from the Irish state).
All those Bishops and those nuns should go to prison for the rest of their lives just like they make those girls suffer and those children and babies suffer of hunger until they died for the for that reason the nun and those Bishops deserve to go to prison for the rest of their lives I believe that those babies and those children disturb to be recognized and deserve to be buried with their name the plaque with their names recognized as children and babies not as something like trash that they were disposed up
This is why there shall be a separation of church and state. Time for Ireland to adoptbAmerican style government with a free constitution.
These are devil like us humans hiding behind the long gown and spread their dirty hands all over the world unfortunately.
Kamloops Canada. The Catholic Church yet again. Tragic.
My dad was taken into care into a church and he got touched by the nuns he got burnt and they even chopped one of his fingers off
Appreciate Sharing
Many Blessings ❤
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world
What's the meaning of the word 'church'?
A public building for worship.

"Catholicism is more than a religion, it is a political power. Therefore I'm led to believe there will be no peace in Ireland until the Catholic church is crushed" - Oliver Cromwell
The same man you speak off that murderd thousands of women and babies himself ?😂😂😂a contradiction no? The same man that threw people off their own land and sent them to the outskirts surrounded by rock where no food could go so that he could put English settlers there and leave the people who actually belonged there to die off the coast ?😂 yeahhh your quoting the wrong person
@@hj1651 I quoted a legend.
💯💯💯
Put in a septic tank as if they were not human beings. For Gods sake they were babies what was going on in the heads of the Nuns and Priests ?I’m sure some of these Nuns will be in their old age today and should be put in prison for their crimes. Also the Irish Government should grow a set of balls and do the right thing and stop cruelty betraying all these women whose babies were taken from them. What was wrong with the men who were part of creating babies with the local women?. Were they saints?. Highly unlikely. In these homes they were starving the children and were left in filthy clothes and not fed properly and sexually abused. Balagan .
Yet no retribution against the fathers, no penance or shame.
Thank you
30,000 women in IRELAND
MOTHER & BABY HOMES
those babies and little kuds spirits will NEVER BE AT PEACE. BORN, ALIVE, WRAPPED AND LEFT IN CESSPOOL TO DIE ALONE
It hurts so much by hearing that babies and their mothers are being killed by people.God created everyone equally.I am in stress why all this is happening.
St Patrick would roll in his grave at this horror
Irish government investigation summary: "Ireland was a cold harsh environment for many, probably the majority,
of its residents during the earlier half of the period under remit. It was
especially cold and harsh for women. All women suffered serious
discrimination. Women who gave birth outside marriage were subject
to particularly harsh treatment. Responsibility for that harsh treatment
rests mainly with the fathers of their children and their own immediate
families. It was supported by, contributed to, and condoned by, the
institutions of the State and the Churches. However, it must be
acknowledged that the institutions under investigation provided a
refuge - a harsh refuge in some cases - when the families provided
no refuge at all".
Pure evil, how anyone could perpetrate such cruelty and abuse on those women and innocent babies and children. It amazes me there are any Catholics left in the world after all that has been revealed in the past and now.
What is up with that inspectors report! Children are starving but in conclusion they are doing 👍!?!?
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world?
She couldn't tell about the rape. She'd have been beaten up or targeted by the man's sister's And friend's and ud have been abused for her talking about it.
I was watching like normally bc yea Ive seen many tragedies and documentaries around the world but when I heard Catherine Coffey O'Brein voice in 14:16 it pierced through my heart I exploded with tears I felt the pain the anger and the despair just from the tone of her voice.
there is no reason to murded baby’s
Unfortunately I have only just found this video; what an absolute disgrace from a so called "wonderful moral organisation" ! Can anyone tell me what these women mean by being "sentenced" Is this a type of court decision or similar? And being forced to leave their children ! Who enforced these rules etc ??
My ancestors were irish good thing they escaped
They made the eomen work these laundries and then sold the babies big bucks
Why is there always abuse in the church 😢😢😢
My heart goes out to the families an children who r looking for their mums an their looking for the brothers an sisters 💔 god bless all the children who r burried 😢in places were their families r still trying to find them it's awful that happened
I wonder how many that were told the babies died but the truth is that they were sold.
This is an awfully shameful article if it is TRUE. AMERICAN EVANGELICAL PLEASE READ.
The best way for women to show respect for the women and children is not to attend the Catholic Church. You can worship god without the sinners.
Can´t stop crying.
The Vatican City should be demolished & all the churches money given to the survivors of such regime!!!
Why should the Pope live in such opulence & so many homeless & starving????
The church keeps telling us about charity. But they never seem to be with out anything !
This will never happen. The church is too powerful. The Vatican/Catholic Church is the most powerful institution that has, and will, ever exist. What other institution can kill and abuse so many for ages and still stand-NONE.
Those nuns should of been prosecuted.
Crimes against humanity by the Catholic church ?
I can't go back any further than two months to watch all the videos. Does anyone have links to all after part?
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world ?
Beyond sick
Reparations and names of American who bought babies
The honesty towards these cruel truths depends how we give penalty to those who committed and to avoid so called human abuse of catholic nun and father system that of our God never taught
Of baby killing before the birth or after the birth that stills continue in all our the world especially these sacred world catholic mothers and baby home
Holy Ireland 🇮🇪
EVIL JUST EVIL THE CATHOLIC I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH SUCH HORROR!!!
This is basically the Irish version of the holocaust. Shocking
@@dazzamcg2369 that would be the famine
Money power
