Throughout the 20th century in Ireland, some 56,000 pregnant unmarried women were forced to give birth in ‘mother and baby homes’ run by the Catholic Church. Infants born into these institutions were either put up for adoption - sometimes without their mother’s consent - or fostered, or else raised on the premises in desolate conditions. And, as revealed by the Irish government’s recent inquiry into mother and baby homes abuses, these children also died inside with startling frequency, with a reported 15 per cent infant mortality rate at the 18 facilities investigated. Released in 2017, the powerful short documentary Mother and Baby by the Irish director Mia Mullarkey profiles some of the surviving children of the infamous Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Taum, County Galway, who are still grappling, decades later, with the wanton cruelty and trauma they endured - all with the complicity of the Irish state and the Catholic Church.

Such cruelty to these people was done INTENTIONALLY by the Catholic Church to fill their pockets!

I now live in the USA and was fortunate enough to end up here. I was one of the unfortunate children through no fault of my own was instutionalized by the court in New-Castle West Co. Limerick to St. Joseph's School in Glin Co. Limerick in October1953 the victim of being born into abstract poverty without zero government help. My brother and beautiful sister suffered the same fate. Starvation diets, living in rags winter and Summer were commonplace. Open sores on the hands from the cold damp weather without treatment were common, punishment with heavy leather straps were regular occurrence. Under the supervision of the order of Christain Brother. What a disgrace and shame on the Catholic Church and Government of Ireland of the time. My early life in Ireland is still fresh on my mind as if it were yesterday. My useless father was a drunken clown who absconded to England and never heard from again as with many useless fathers in Ireland. We are very lucky to be alive after our early experiences in that awful country.

@Saints and Scholars Typical Excuse's and coverup as usual. These Workhouses were out of the dark ages and their religious management used the same tactics in these converted to childcare facility's.

@danielocallaghan2249 Год назад

The eight hundred babies dumped in Tuam were not put there by secular authorities. These were put there by sadistic Brides of Christ who profited from the sale of the ones they knew would bring top dollar. I have firsthand knowledge of the handling and mismanagement of these intuitions by a so-called religious order. I was awarded sixty-five thousand dollars for mistreatment at the hands of the Catholic order of Christain Brother's. Do not water it down with excuses and coverups! But then as usual this is to be expected

Dear Daniel O’Callaghan My Mother was from the town of Hospital County Limerick and then came to London with her sister at 18yrs old and married my father from Mayo in 1957. They both had wonderful family upbringings,very happy and healthy times. There was seven of us brought up in London likewise we had a great upbringing - our parents would remind us of the treatment the Nuns or Christian Brothers would try to dish out to the school children of the day in the 1930’s. I hope your happy and settled in the USA, one of my father’s brother Tony immigrated to New York in 1965. I wish you well and all the best 🍾

That's so very sad to hear that you cant separate the Institution form the Scripture. from my understanding nowhere in scripture does it instruct that kind of evil. Clearly they were acting on their own free will - you also have to remember it was the community, family and government that allowed this to happen. Collective thinking and social conditioning of that era.... we're all going through that same social conditioning today...... turning us on each other with hate and stigma. The greatest trick he ever played was to convince the world he 'exist.... Satan. It was mankind who used their free will to abuse the women and children.

@kristinebailey6554 10 месяцев назад

I am glad to see you say the Catholic Church in Ireland, because the Catholic orphanages in the USA did nothing like this. But then we also did not expect nuns and priests to take responsibility for people having intercourse outside of wedlock. This was never the function of any church, and they would be very ill equipped to deal with it. You simply do not disown your daughters and grandchildren for any reason. It disgusts me to know that families did such a thing! That is where half of the blame (at the very least) lies.

@@abbatroubleHere in Canada we had the residential schools( finally closed their doors in the 90s) The nuns that worked in these schools abused and tortured the children. The residential schools were where the indigenous children of Canada were sent. They were forbidden to speak in their native language. If they did then the nuns would pierce the child's tongue. Sometimes frightened siblings would climb in to the same beds to comfort each other. If the nuns found out they beat them. One of the schools had a home made electric chair. The children would have their hair cut upon arrival and their name taken away from them upon arrival. Some of the Catholic priest would tell the girls that if they would go to bed with them they would promise them a place in heaven. Research what happened to children who were sent out to orphanages in Australia ran by nuns and priests. It's absolutely horrific.

@lorrainereeves4466 Год назад

I appreciate there must have been exceptions but in the main it would seem the majority of nuns were empty vessels and incapable of affection. What drove such a negative and unfeeling way of living, and what on earth were they taught to believe. That’s the scary bit because it’s not in the Bible. Clearly the church did not teach anything about the love and affection between a man, a woman and their children. Quite wicked and shameful.

@Phiyedough Год назад

If this was an isolated case it might just be down to a few misguided individuals at one home but it was a systemic approach covering the whole county. They talk about 800 deaths here but 9000 children died overall in these mother and baby homes. It is the RC Church that should be blamed, rather than individual nuns.

Thank you for this video, and drawing light to this subject. As a RN going into my 38th year of practice, and having spent the first 10 years working as Charge on a 30 bed inpatient psychiatric facility, I understand full well the dynamics playing out in these circumstances. It wasn't that long ago, here in the US, that mental hospitals were often referred to as "Snake Pits". There is even a chilling film made in the 40's I think, of the same name. A place to hide from society, that for which they were ashamed...the mentally ill. I noticed on some of the governmental documents associated with these "Homes" for unwed Mothers...children often referred to as "mentally deficient". I imagine that due to the Mother's poor nutrition during pregnancy, and with the delivery practices of the day, that a good number of those children may indeed have born with developmental disabilities, and various forms of brain damage. Unfortunately, as was often the case, those children were targeted for the most horrible of abuse...as they would be viewed as "something less than Human". I can only hope, that through survivors and their supporters, they can fully document past practices and pass laws that will ensure that this can NEVER happen again. And for any survivors still living...that for the rest of their lives they want for nothing, and be cared for with love & dignity. ❤🙏❤

They were all poor because of their horrible government and pathetic leaders. Keep them drunk, poor and distracted and they won't care. They try to blame the nuns who got paid NOTHING to raise, teach, feed, doctor, clothe and care for all these unwanted children. NO ONE fought for these children. Men getting drunk every night not even caring for their own children. They had NO PROBLEM sending their teens away to Australia or America never to be seen again. I saw it in my own family. Men taking advantage of women and abandoning them. Stop making excuses. This should have been a government program with PAID employees. Everyone was perfectly fine to let the church carry their burdens. The blame goes in many directions and demonizing the church is such a easy way out.

I realise there is something very different about the Irish. They seem to suffer from an inferiority complex. The Irish nuns at school were always on the defensive. I went to boarding school and there was only one Irish nun there and when I look back she too was on the defensive. I have been led to believe that the Irish mother rules the home and makes all the decisions regarding their childrens future. A son is sent to the priesthood and a daughter to the convent. The life partners were chosen and organised by the mothers. I might be greatly mistaken, but I do believe that a pregnant daughter would be rapidly married to the father of the child in most communities, but not in the Irish the daughter was disgrace and hidden and the child I cannot call it anything else, abandoned. It is not the Church that decreed this, but the mother that could not have her family reputation tarnished.

Mental enslavement to the masses. This psychology is prevalent around the world - unwed youug women deemed such a threat for existing that they would be locked up somewhere and babies taken from them. There is a documentary online about African girls treated similarly.

The Catholic orphanages in the USA did nothing like this. But then we also did not expect nuns and priests to take responsibility for people having intercourse outside of wedlock. This was never the function of any church, and they would be very ill equipped to deal with it. You simply do not disown your daughters and grandchildren for any reason. It disgusts me to know that families did such a thing! That is where half of the blame (at the very least) lies. Reply

The grandmothers and families were brainwashed by the church that this was the only thing they could do... I’m sure many of them would’ve helped but couldn’t because of the system and beliefs.

Breaking the bond between mother & child. -by people that describe selves believers in God, Goodness & justice. Greater evil exists, but is a close cousin.

And they got away with all their madness, people who represent god. This is another example of why I want nothing to do with the catholic church. How those poor mothers and children suffered 😠 And what about the coward fathers? Hope karma caught them too.

It is evident that all this is part of an international catho-bashing. In Hitler's Germany similar stories have been presented to the public and later found to bee pure inventions. Do you not see how professionally these testimonials have been orchestrated ? A movie director must have put the entire show together.

They would line you up at the bottom of the stairs going to bed. Then they would take a cane and lash us the children across the legs to satisfy their lust to hurt children.

Is life much better now? Thousands of unwanted babies are torn apart limb by limb in the womb at the request of mother. Why no outcry?

@kAt-jf4vq Год назад

Nobody cares about those babies after they're born. So shut the fuck up. Women deserves abortion rights.

@Tipperary757 Год назад

Could you get off your high horse and focus on the current issue? What about all the unwanted children CURRENTLY alive - abused, neglected, addicted, with little happiness in their futures. Foster care is NOT healthy for a child. Life is hard, stop wanting to force women to have babies YOU are not prepared to raise or pay for.

I’ve grappled with the same issue myself and I’m not sure If have the answer. But second poster is right that that’s not really the point of the film in question
