Mother’s guilt having entrusted Catholic religious order with her son

Was this another catholic organization?

I am the mother of a severley retarded daughter. It is not just in Ireland that our develepmentally disabled are mis treated. Fortunately I found a care home where my daughter gets good care and she has lived there for 18 years. But she lived in a state facility for 3 years and some of the residents there were brutally treated. I hope she dies the day before I do because I don't know who will watch out for her after I am no longer here.

What consolation can we extend to our sister in Christ? To try and normalize it by saying "you are one of many?". Countless mother's world wide are today, beating their hearts in grief for the betrayal of trust, both spiritually and temporally, most of all; to each and everyone of you; take heart. Let all, who are guilty by association pay the price before God and man.

GfrigginD how many complained in your part of America, bigger country, bigger mental institutions, that haven't been sufficiently commented on. You have commentated on Ireland for months with nothing but contempt for the irish people, go back to politics.ie, they know how to put you in your place.

Man's inhumanity to Man, will it ever cease to exist?

I have sympathy for this lady, and offer no opinion on her case. But what she says highlights an aspect of this whole horrible saga that hasn't been sufficiently commented on. That is that the Irish people--parents, police, doctors, bureaucrats etc. were accomplices in these events. I am not attempting to shift the blame from those who committed the assaults. But I am saying that countless Irish people knew what was going on, if not in the sexual assaults at least in the beatings. A relative of mine who went to school in the 1960s in Dublin told me that he and his class mates were threatened by teachers, both lay and cleric, that they would wind up in Airtaine if they misbehaved. Some years ago I remember having a drink in the company of an old man who said that he vividly remembered delivering bread to one of those hell-holes and hearing the sounds of beating and screams on all sides. He was unable to give me any explanation when I asked him why he didn't go to the authorities. It seemed to me that he thought nothing would happen, regardless of his complaint. How many Irish turned a blind eye?

Horrid. They should rot in hell (which they will), and be hung from the town square. No, I am not kidding.
