Excavation has begun on a septic tank at a site in Ireland that
authorities believe contains the remains of nearly 800 dead babies and children who died at a home for unwed mothers run by Catholic nuns.
Many of the infant remains are feared to have been dumped in the
cesspool known as othe pito at the former institution in the small
town of Tuam, County Galway, local historian Catherine Corless told
Sky News.
In total, 798 children died at the home between 1925 and its closure
in 1961, of which just two were buried in a nearby cemetery, CorlessA research found.
The other 796 childrenAs remains are believed to be under the site of
the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home, which was demolished in 1971 and
is now surrounded by a modern apartment complex.
Bon Secours, known locally as The Home, was a maternity home for
unmarried mothers and their children, run by a religious order of
Catholic nuns.
Unmarried pregnant women would be sent to the home to give birth and
would be interned for a year to do unpaid work.
They were separated from their newborn children, who would be raised
by the nuns until they were adopted, often without the consent of
their families.
The full scale of the tragedy at Bon Secours was only uncovered in
2014 thanks to CorlessAs findings.

Nuns can be as cruel to children
as priests, if not more so.
