796 dead babies expected to be found hidden in septic tank at unwed mothers’ home run by nuns

FEROTV EXCLUSIVE REPORT
"796 Lost Babies: Ireland Begins Long-Awaited Excavation at Tuam"
By the FEROTV News Team


June 2025 – Tuam, Ireland
An emotional and historic moment is unfolding as Irish authorities begin the long-awaited excavation of a mass grave believed to contain the remains of 796 infants and children. The site lies on the grounds of a former Catholic-run institution—the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home—which operated between 1925 and 1961.

FEROTV traces the painful journey that has led to this point: a story of silence, sorrow, and long-overdue accountability.


The Discovery
The tragic truth began to emerge through the tireless work of local historian Catherine Corless. Her research uncovered death records for hundreds of children who lived and died at the Tuam home—most with no corresponding burial records. In 2017, her findings were confirmed when human remains were discovered at the site, shocking the nation and forcing a long-stalled response.


The Excavation Begins
Now officially underway, the excavation is expected to take up to two years. A specialized forensic team will exhume the remains, analyze them, and attempt identification through DNA testing. For survivors and the families of the lost, this work offers a chance for truth, justice, and—finally—closure.


A Nation Reckons
But this is not just about Tuam. It is part of a wider reckoning with how Ireland treated unmarried mothers and their children throughout the 20th century. Abuse, neglect, death, forced adoptions, and generations of silenced trauma—this dark legacy can no longer remain hidden.


FEROTV’s Reflection
At FEROTV, we stand with the survivors and their families. We are committed to honoring truth, restoring dignity, and amplifying voices that were silenced for too long.
This is not just Irish history—it is human history.


Stay tuned to FEROTV for ongoing coverage and in-depth investigations into the Tuam tragedy and its wider implications.
