Forty years ago, thousands of children were snatched from unwed mothers in Ireland at\u00a0the\u00a0behest of\u00a0the\u00a0Catholic Church.\u00a0The\u00a0remains of 796 of\u00a0them were found in a septic tank of a Mother and Baby home run by Catholic nuns \u2013 many more were trafficked to\u00a0the\u00a0US in forced adoptions, and thousands are still unaccounted for. How was this allowed to occur and who is to be held accountable?<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Missing\u00a0Children<\/strong> follows the Irish mother and baby home scandal, focusing on the Tuam home, where 796 babies are believed to have been buried in a septic tank. Hundreds of children died of neglect or were adopted, often illegally, from the notorious institution run by Bons Secours nuns.<\/p>\n
