Tuam mother and baby home: the trouble with the septic tank story [View all] struggle4progress Jun 2014 OP

So 'Some of the 796 children's remains are in a FORMER septic tank' AtheistCrusader Jun 2014 #1

What we know is: (1) Catherine Corless obtained death certificates struggle4progress Jun 2014 #2

... A preliminary examination of the site is likely to involve testing .. struggle4progress Jun 2014 #3

That's a possibility. But the septic tank was in use at the turn of the century. AtheistCrusader Jun 2014 #24

Totally. It's really no big deal now. trotsky Jun 2014 #10

They need to be focusing on how those women and children lived Warpy Jun 2014 #4

Why am I not surprised skepticscott Jun 2014 #6

Feel free to post anything that actually adds to our understanding of the story struggle4progress Jun 2014 #7

One point: until enforcement of child labor laws, a workhouse could be a home for children too. Brettongarcia Jun 2014 #12

Yes, the county poorhouse was revamped in the 1920s to specialize it struggle4progress Jun 2014 #17

Ireland has recently been good about exposing its bishops; several have recently resigned Brettongarcia Jun 2014 #13

That seems to be a different story, since Derry is not so near to Tuam struggle4progress Jun 2014 #18

But both are in greater "Ireland," the subject named in one of your posts Brettongarcia Jun 2014 #22

After 1921, Tuam and Derry were in entirely separate countries struggle4progress Jun 2014 #67

Why assume it was murder? YarnAddict Jun 2014 #79

These children were dumped in an unmarked grave. Warren Stupidity Jun 2014 #9

No, Warren, it's not unbelievable at all to see this posted. trotsky Jun 2014 #11

What's even worse than that: this post was expected... Act_of_Reparation Jun 2014 #14

They've used that one before, remember? trotsky Jun 2014 #15

Struggle4Progress raised a good point above. AtheistCrusader Jun 2014 #25

Waiting on all the facts doesn't help the "cause", you may be shunned or worse. Leontius Jun 2014 #43

Based on the initial reporting, I think it was a reasonable conclusion, but the facts have AtheistCrusader Jun 2014 #46

I think it may be unwise to draw many conclusions until the cbayer Jun 2014 #26

It is just sick that you would try and distract from the story here. trotsky Jun 2014 #49

What you call distracting from the story, I consider an effort to find the story struggle4progress Jun 2014 #50

Of course you would. trotsky Jun 2014 #52
