A child shoe at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home mass burial site, Tuam, Ireland.Nearly 800 babies and young children who died in the Tuam Home, run by the Bon Secours Sisters, are buried there in unmarked graves.The home was one of 10 Irish institutions run by religious orders, to which about 35,000 unmarried pregnant women were sent. It is thought a child died there almost every two weeks between the mid-1920s and 1960s.> Photo: Charles McQuillan. -- source link
