Anyways, you are right in that most of this isn't new, it's just slightly amplified and much more visible to all.I know a lady who was sent away to a "home" in the early 60's for several months to have a baby (when she was 16) so that her family could hide the (forced) adoption. That was 50 years ago, and she wasn't the first, eh?
-This exact thing happened to my wife's aunt. She was sent to a nunnery until the baby was born. She connected with her estranged daughter 40 years later. They're best friends and she's a great grandmother to her kids. The horrible story actually had a happy ending.
