800 dead babies found in septic tank at former home for unwed mothers

In a town in western Ireland, where castle ruins pepper green landscapes, there's a six-foot stone wall that once surrounded a place called the Home. Between 1925 and 1961, thousands of "fallen women" and their "illegitimate" children passed through the Home, run by the Bon Secours nuns in Tuam

I hope if any of the people who ran this "home" are still alive that they get prosecuted with a 16-ton weight, nuns or not.

Well said.

Wait, wait. This had to have happened in the 1700s, right? 1800s at the latest. It can't possibly be a modern day thing, right? Right? *double checks dates*
