An innocent child is not responsible for any rules their parent breaks. It's clear there was a level of neglect in these institutions and even levels of malnutrition as outlined in the case in Ireland in a report in the 1940s. It doesn't matter what era it was, the nuns had a duty of care and it seems particularly careless in the way these bodies were disposed of.

Many good people may have gone into the church but you don't hear of those people ever rocking the boat and speaking out about these terrible things.

Exactly. Horrific abuses of power and horrific deeds were carried out under the name of the church and when uncovered they try to brush them under the carpet rather than be outraged that such disgusting things were carried out in their name and within their institutions, where they were supposed to be looking after the most vulnerable people in society
