Okay kiddo, so you know how there were homes for moms who didn't have a place to live when they were pregnant? Well, in Ireland a really long time ago, there were these homes where moms and babies would live together. But the homes weren't always very nice, and sometimes bad things happened there.
So now some very smart grown-ups made a group called the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation, and their job is to look into what happened at these homes and make sure it never happens again. They talk to people who lived there and gather information to find out what was good and what was bad about the homes. It's important to make sure all moms and babies are treated with kindness and respect no matter what.
