Author Topic: 796 Dead Babies found in Septic Tank near Ireland Orphanage  (Read 2261 times)

This is the biggest reason why I think these child neglect charges they're being faced with are stupid.
The second being I don't think the way you treat someone after they're dead can count as neglect
Respect for the dead is a tradition and common belief across virtually all Human cultures. So, I can understand people being upset with how they treated the babies' bodies. So I'm curious- why did that thought not occur to you?

Then again, I don't know the conditions that Catholic orphanage was going through. Perhaps they "buried them" in a septic tank because there was nothing else they could do. Though, that still is not very believable.

yeah because letting 796 children die under your care and then quietly disposing of them in a loving septic tank is okay

and if it operated for 35 years then thats 22-23 a year, so thats multiple children dieing every month which is seven different flavors of forgeted up

I don't get why the orphanage is facing charges when the people involved are likely all dead.

Person with a family who actually lived and made relationships =/= baby with no family who cared
baby "no one cares about" =/= worthless

so pretty much inner city orphanages in the early 1900's? Ireland isn't exactly a developed utopia at that point in time

The orphanage was:

orphanage for the children of unwed mothers
And the situation is:
Quote
In keeping with Catholic teaching, such out-of-wedlock children were denied baptism and, if they died at such facilities, Christian burial.

It is well documented that throughout Ireland in the first half of the 20th century, church-run orphanages and workhouses often buried their dead in unmarked graves and unconsecrated ground, reflecting how unmarried mothers - derided as "fallen women" in the culture of the day - were typically ostracised by society, even their own families.

I'm not saying it's ok where the forget are you people getting this idea from
The first sentence in that post says there's nothing we can do about it because the guilty people are already dead. You can't bring criminal charges on dead people, and if you could, it would be pointless
The second sentence says I don't think there's any legal implications. I never said anything about moral implications, forget off

You never mentioned the word legal or moral in that second sentence, so it's not that far-fetched to assume you could've meant it either way.

child neglect charges
are a criminal matter; thus, legal

baby "no one cares about" =/= worthless
When did I imply that it was worthless? I implied that you could bury it in a septic tank in the 1920s in a poverty stricken Ireland and there would be no one caring, which is very clearly true because they did it and no one cared.
