EoaDescription:What exactly went on at the William and Lila Young's Maternity home in East Chester? About a half century ago, the Ideal Home provided discreet sanctuary and speedy deliveries to unwed mothers who wanted to bear their babies out of sight of a disapproving society. The couple who ran the home promised young mothers that their babies would be entrusted to a good home. Many of these babies were put up for adoption. Some were sold, but some of the babies simply disappeared. The dark story behind the babies who were buried in unmarked butter boxes is presented by CBC journalist Bette Cahill in this disturbing documentary about Nova Scotia's notorious baby factory.Language:English -
