Efforts to find burial records at local government offices by Corless apparently turned up nothing.
Death records were apparently then cross-referenced by Corless with local cemetery records - and TWO of the children were discovered nearby. Two...
1.) Where are the missing children buried? They simply didn't ascend into heaven bodily, right?
2.) If the children were indeed baptized, then surely someone can supply the baptismal records.
3.) If the children were indeed buried on consecrated ground, (baptized or not), then surely someone can supply the locations for all areas where consecrated ground was nearby.
4.) If the septic tank story has gotten in the way going forward, then reverse engineer this and supply everything needed in #2 and #3 to get to answering #1.
5.) If the children were indeed buried on consecrated ground, then why was the Tuam site consecrated in 1975?
By applying the laws of logic in 1-5, over the next two years or so there is no reason why this cannot be solved and the location for the missing children put to rest once and for all:
Thus, no need for Ad Hominem during the next two years or so against those who may try to discover the answer to #1.
Geeting somwhere it seems...
Everyone needs to/should read the article before commenting.
Thanks.
You care so much you’re going over to help care for orphans, right?
Note that we're getting contradictory messages about this issue.
FR: Forbes: Why That Story About Irish Babies In A Septic Tank Is A Hoax
Take a look at the charts at the bottom of this article. Child mortality rates for the twentieth century.
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4838a2.htm
This story has already been debunked.
More self-righteous hating today? Yawn.
It seems the fiction has already morphed. Now instead of hundreds of bodies surprisingly “dumped into septic tanks” - we learn all the children who died at the Tuam home actually were registered with authorities, and had doctors and health officials verify the cause of their deaths.
The outright lies perpetrated by Catholic Church haters is downright shocking.
Regardless of the circumstances, the list is heart-wrenching.
Those poor children.
May God hold them close.
You’re a loony, and this thread needs pulled.
Not again? This is getting old.
Some perspective from another site:

1925-1960?
The child mortality rate was??
Between 1925 and 1937, 204 children died at the Home — an average of 17 per year. 17 deaths out of 200 children equals a mortality rate of 8.5%
Irish Blogger Shane, (Lux Occulta) has carried out research indicating that the mortality rate in the home at Tuam was actually LOWER than much of the rest of the country, except in Dublin, where it was the same.
“Between 1925 and 1937, 204 children died at the Home — an average of 17 per year. 17 deaths out of 200 children equals a mortality rate of 8.5%. It is interesting to compare that with the rest of the country at the time. In 1933, the infant mortality rate in Dublin was 83 per thousand (ie. a mortality rate of 8.3%), in Cork it was 89 per thousand (8.9%), in Waterford it was 102 per thousand (10.2%) and in Limerick it was 132 per thousand (13.2%).
