In Ireland the Industrial Schools Act of 1868 established industrial schools ((アイルランド語:scoileanna saothair)) to care for "neglected, orphaned and abandoned children". By 1884 there were 5,049 children in such institutions. In England the 1857 Industrial Schools Act was intended to solve problems of juvenile delinquency, by removing poor and neglected children from their home environment to a boarding school. The Act allowed magistrates to send disorderly children to a residential industrial school. An 1876 Act led to non-residential day schools of a similar kind. There were similar arrangements in Scotland, where the Industrial Schools Act came into force in 1866. The schools cared for neglected children and taught them a trade, with an emphasis on preventing crime. Some of these schools were known as reformatories or, later, as approved schools. In recent times these schools have become notorious for the rampant sexual, physical and mental abuse that took place within their walls, often at the hands of members of the religious institutes running them. ==The Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse in Ireland== The Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse was established in 2000 with functions including the investigation of abuse of children in institutions in the State. It was dependent on people giving evidence which they did in large numbers. The conclusions of the report issued in May 2009 (Report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, 2009〔Report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, 2009〕)are copied below. 42 of the 43 conclusions refer to the Industrial Schools. They are in themselves a useful summary of what an industrial school in Ireland was, as well as a damning indictment of Ireland, Church, State and society. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「industrial school」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
