It was down to the parents who thought more about what others thought and the church for bring such hypocrists. Christ taught live and forgiveness, they showed none. Priest fathering babies, shows how much they believed in God, how much they valued people, especially their isn't child they just wanted out of the way or the innocent girl they ruined. How are governments responsible for that way of thinking at the time. My mother said to me when a teenager, she would stand by all of us and blow the neighbours if we got into trouble as she called it, but she didn't want us to be mothers until we had a husband we loved, she never mentioned sex, periods or anything like that but she was a loving mother who thought more about her family than what society went along with. Injustices have happened through the time and attitudes gradually change when people oppose them . It's unbearable what those young girls suffered its enough to send you mad. I just hope those babies they loved sought them out, I know I would never stop searching. If government wanted to help the victims they could make a central register easily available, if both parties wanted it. If its two youngsters, with their lives in front of them, both families should be responsible for the child, if they wanted the child adopted do it openly, not be forced into marriage. None of us got into trouble as they called it. We can't be apologising for things that happened years ago of which we had no control over, children down mines, child prostitution, slavery. We learn by our mistakes and you are not talking about everyone feeling that way and predudicd , just some. Everything is out there now, back in the day it wasn't.
