A lot of rumors have been running around a former catholic orphanage in Metairie in Lousiana. It was closed in 1995 in order to avoid further digging into possible child sex abuse.

Now 16 bodies have been found at the former facility.

As with the terrible case of children having been abused and killed at the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys, the job is now to put names of those who have been buried in Metairie. Forever this city will now have its name tie to the buried children.

The real tragedy is that none seemed to care about their disappearence. Who can you place responsability when none miss a child?

If this only was a special case, but it has sadly turned out to be close to a norm that you find buried children when you re-develop areas belonging to former child facilities to new housing projects. There are similar cases from Ireland and England. Only God knows what to find in the future.

We will pray for that these children will be named and if possible that people responsible for these tragedies are held accountable for their actions.
