Horrific reports about Irish Institutions


Listening to Radio 4 at the moment and the horrific stories of children who were placed in the institutions in Ireland and the dreadful abuse that they suffered. The Ryan Report outlines events in details. It is a disgrace - the whole complex system that was privy to what was going on behind the doors of those institutions to those little children and who did nothing. I feel such moral outrage - not only for these Irish children but to the whole attitude in this country as to 'it is better to keep children in institutions' then adopt them out to loving and secure families.
I can't listen anymore to the report it is too disheartening - but hopefully it will awaken the hardness in the heartless.
