J P Rodgers has a couple of books to push and is probably looking for a media deal.
Comments contributor Bertrand K sums up the story quite well in the comments section.
"Nothing about this story is clear so far, not helped by the hysterical headlines about 800 dead babies being discovered in a septic tank (when neither of those things has happened) and lots and lots of people getting outraged and demanding heads on spikes before we even know what’s actually gone on".
even Hardcore Hedda was fooled by this : I actually thought they had found the bodies..so now it's really speculation.
Here is another "survivor" wringing his hands:
" Former resident, JP Rodgers, cannot believe he is not among the dead. He struggled with his emotions when recalling how he had been separated from his mother at 13 months and did not see her for 33 years.
He said: "I can't explain why I was saved and why I was one of the lucky ones."
I can : you didn't get sick did you ? You were lucky and didn't get " measles, tuberculosis and malnutrition among the causes."
Half my family were from Ireland and we have records going back 400 years. There isn't a generation where at least one, generally 2 infants died from illnesses. That was normal and why the families were often so big..8/9/10 children.
The chances are that if these 'poor houses' and nuns didn't take in all these children or single mothers- as tough as they were- many many more would have died on the streets.
This is another attempt to re-write history and single out sections of society for blame. All of society was to blame for the past.
