@crmnallyobsessed: In Tuam, Ireland, a long-buried truth is being unearthed. A full forensic excavation has begun at a former Catholic mother-and-baby home where nearly 800 infants and young children are believed to be buried in a septic tank. The discovery was first brought to light by local historian Catherine Corless, who uncovered the names of 796 children who died at the home without proper burials. Many were born to unmarried mothers institutionalized by church and state in a system that punished women for becoming pregnant out of wedlock. Some babies died from neglect; others were trafficked abroad. Families like Anna Corrigan’s have spent years searching for answers. Now, international experts are working to exhume and identify the remains. Work is expected to last two years.
