Is the source of this article believable????
Like it's not the National Inquirer or Mad Magazine is it?
The Frisky is a gossip site, like a tabloid. No, it's not really true. It's wildly exaggerated and misrepresented.
"In 1975, two 12-year-old boys were playing at the site of the former Mother and Baby Home. Underneath a concrete slab they found a hole or chamber "filled to the brim" with children's skeletons.
[5][6] One of them later said he had seen about twenty skeletons.
[4] The slab is believed by some to have covered the former Home's septic tank.
[5][6][36] Locals speculated that these were the remains of victims of the Great Famine,
unbaptised babies,
[37] and/or
stillborn babies from the Home.
[34] The number of bodies was then unknown, but was assumed to be small. It was re-sealed shortly afterwards, following prayers at the site by a priest.
[36][37] For the next 35 years the burial site was tended to by a local couple, who also built a small
grotto there.

Columnist Patrick Kenny questioned whether the bones found in 1975 were from the Bon Secours Home or from one of the previous institutions which had occupied the same building, as well as whether or not the structure Corless speculated was a mass grave was a disused septic tank or a 19th-century burial vault.
[13] Corless herself corrected portions of the media coverage, telling the
Irish Times, "I never used that word 'dumped'. I never said to anyone that 800 bodies were dumped in a septic tank."
[47]
Local
Gardaí initially surmised that any bones on the site likely dated from the Great Famine in the 19th-century: "These are historical burials going back to famine times. There is no suggestion of any impropriety".
[6] Bones of famine victims were found nearby in 2011, and archaeologists determined that they were 19th century "paupers" from the same Tuam Poor Law Union Workhouse which had originally occupied the building later used for the Bon Secours Children's Home.
[48] The Gardaí were later ordered to investigate and issue a report on their findings by the Minister for Justice.
[5][49][50]
Some news outlets reported that all 796 child remains were found in the septic tank,
[6][36] but on 5 June 2014, an RTÉ
Prime Time television report by Mark Coughlan, "Home Babies", reported that "We don't know for sure, as yet anyway, if the babies who died in the Tuam home were buried in a septic tank: no burial location is listed on the death records."
[51] Two days later, on 7 June,
The Irish Times quoted Corless as stating that the story had "been widely misrepresented" in the days since it broke nationally and internationally ("I never used that word 'dumped.' ... I never said to anyone that 800 bodies were dumped in a septic tank.") She said the skeletons found in 1975 had most likely been in the septic tank,
[4] but added that only 204 of the babies had died when the septic tank was in use, saying it "seemed impossible" that all of them could have been "put in a working sewage tank". One of those who found the skeletons told the newspaper he had seen about 20 skeletons.
[4] The
Garda Síochána said claims that all the children may be buried in a septic tank had not yet been "properly tested".
