she was no different that the rest of them except she was a girl“...pre-frontal lobotomy in November 1941...”
Did not know they did that kind of procedure back then.
Damn, poor lady... Not big on the Kennedy Clan, but that’s just horrible.
A lot of secrets in that family.
The Kennedys have always been, and will always be, ghastly people.

BS. Her father thought she was sleeping around too much, and would cause embarrassment to the family.
The Nobel Prize winning inventor of the icepick lobotomy, Walter Freeman, claimed that it could cure such “disturbances”.

I believe her father had her lobotomized because she found out about the affair and couldn’t keep quiet about it.
A lobotomy, or leucotomy, is a form of psychosurgery, a neurosurgical treatment of a mental disorder that involves severing connections in the brain’s prefrontal cortex.[2] Most of the connections to and from the prefrontal cortex, the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain are severed. It was used for psychiatric and occasionally other conditions as a mainstream procedure in some Western countries for more than two decades. This was despite general recognition of frequent and serious side effects. While some people experienced symptomatic improvement with the operation, the improvements were achieved at the cost of creating other impairments. The procedure was controversial from its initial use in part due to the balance between benefits and risks.
The originator of the procedure, Portuguese neurologist António Egas Moniz, shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine of 1949 for the “discovery of the therapeutic value of leucotomy in certain psychoses”, although the awarding of the prize has been subject to controversy.
The use of the procedure increased dramatically from the early 1940s and into the 1950s; by 1951, almost 20,000 lobotomies had been performed in the United States alone and proportionally more in the United Kingdom. The majority of lobotomies were performed on women; A 1951 study of American hospitals found nearly 60% of lobotomy patients were women; data shows 74% of lobotomies in Ontario from 1948–1952 were performed on women. From the 1950s onward lobotomy began to be abandoned, first in the Soviet Union and Europe.[citation needed] The term is derived from Greek: lobos “lobe” and toun, tome “cut, slice”.

Obviously daddy didn’t want her telling her story.
Can we guess why?
And then the Kennedys had the audacity, to claim that Rosemary’s condition, was the inspiration for starting the special olympics.
Rosemary’s condition, which was due to a voluntary barbaric procedure, inspired the Kennedys to start the special Olympics.
Some people are shameless aren’t they?
I never understood exactly how or why or who decided, that the Kennedy family was America’s “royal family”.
Some may be under the impression that a lobotomy was a precise surgical procedure. It was certainly not then. It was done thus: a thin steel rod like an icepick was inserted behind the eyeball and pushed throught the back of the orbit into the frontal lobes of the brain. The rod was then manipulated in a stirring motion in order to scramble the brain tissue. Walter Freeman performed thousands of such gruesome “surgeries.”
Cover-up sexual abuse?
Camelot was a house of horrors. Joe would do anything and kill anyone to make a son President.
I’d rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy.
Evidently, they wouldn't have to see her that much or spend that much time with her if she was in a facility close to the Kennedy family circles. Out of sight, out of mind.
Were there no facilities, no caring nuns in the towns and hamlets near the various Kennedy residences or their stamping grounds? Wisconsin was chosen ???
What an evil, uncaring, heartless bunch.

No one read the link? Amazing.
Rose Kennedy was in the hands of a nurse who was not allowed to deliver an infant. See how the delivery was delayed until the doctor arrived. See how long it was delayed. See what happened to Rosemary.
God forgive me but if anyone should be burning in Hell, it’s old man Joe Kennedy!!
