My mam had a son in 1975, she was 17, my brother was placed in st patricks guild. He stayed in the home for 5 months then was (fostered) to a couple,,My mam was unaware of any of this and had signed no papers. she contacted the sisters to say she wanted him back unaware he was placed in a new home, she went to see the nun and then was informed he had died with this family and buried under their family name!! we traced his grave, no thanks to the nun but we want to get his death cert changed and possibly get his body exhumed as the grave is at the other end of the country with his wrong name. We need to find some legal representation,,,can anyone suggest somebody experienced in this field we dont know where to start and we know it is a strange situation but the nun will not give us any answers!!

If we must have priests, at least let them marry,so abuse would be no more.

I have no religion at all, I was sent to a catholic convent aged 6 and I was brought up a prody, so you can imagine the hell I went through, beaten, left in corridors for talking til the morning, I was a child of satan etc:the nuns were in the full black habits with the leather belts around their expaning waist s , there was nothing good about that lot, they just fed off the parents who paid the fees! and this place was in england! so it was going on over there as well, behind closed doors! I was so moved by the documentry, that I am hoping that enough people will come forward to tell of the horrors they encountered, so we can get together and once and for all get the church to stand up and acknowledge these inhuman crimes they committed against humanity!
