Children in Nuns’ Care Forced to Wear Soiled Sheets, Eat Vomit

As part of an ongoing investigation of possible abuses in child care services during the 20th century projected to last into the summer of next year, a public inquiry uncovered shocking reports of child abuse and horrific experiences from more than 400 people who had spent time at one of two homes run by the nuns. 
What they described was nothing short of appalling, and it speaks to a troubling need to audit long-term care facilities for children more closely.
