The sad, sad result of religious zealousy. :( The remains of up to 800 children were found in a septic tank on a site where there once stood a home for unwed mothers and their children in Tuam, Ireland. Unwed mothers were sent to institutions like The Home, run by Catholic nuns, both as a punishment for becoming pregnant out of wedlock and to spare their families the shame of an illegitimate child. Mothers lost all claims to their children, who were regularly put up for adoption, often to families in the United States. The women in these institutions were made to labor without pay for two to three years to atone for their sins. buzzfeed/tracyclayton/the-bodies-of-800-babies-were-found-in-the-septic-tank-of-a?bffbnews
