Many women & girls imprisoned at Mercer were admitted from, or transferred to, other places of regulation. Stats below is an institution that ONLY took infants. From 1879-1884: · Admitted 726 · Deaths 𝟔𝟗𝟗 The same year 59 of 169 infants died at the Infants Home, Toronto
Most #Adoptees born of criminalized & incarcerated mothers are unaware!! This one slipped through the cracks though 👇 #HiddenHistories Barriers here: bit.ly/3QwQpSj
Industrial Refuge for Girls 1880-1905: mapped are places of residences prior to being imprisoned, then trained as domestics & apprenticed. Many placements did not go well with girls being returned (some pregnant) but to the women side of the reformatory. google.com/maps/d/viewer?…

Andrew Mercer Reformatory was one of many carceral institutions in Ontario imprisoning over 20,000 women and girls. To read the text under the photos on the heritage plaque please visit AndrewMercerReformatory.org 1/2
Young Dora, silent as a doe among the wolves, never opened her lips. Released after 18 mths, only to be found dead at the Haven in Toronto. Many women & girls, or their babies died during their imprisonment, or after release. More deaths have been posted on the website.
No doubt Toronto benefited but ultimately these terrorized women & girls across Ont. were stigmatized, shamed & traumatized into silence from 1880 until closure in 1969. The process of securing funds that built the house of horrors. 👇
Article on “Juvenile Delinquents” at Ont Training Schools. Thus the process of surveillance began as the girls remained under wardship until the age of 18. Often girls were later detained at Mercer for the slightest misbehavior & many because they were pregnant. A 1964 article👇
Articles will report it as a serious crime & he receives a few yrs sentence. Tragically his daughter is treated as in need of reform rather than receive the proper help for the rape she suffered. Many girls endured months of “reform” at Mercer with an offence listed as incest.
Threats to take away #MercerBabies was a tactic to keep the mothers compliant. What moms didn’t know was if single, divorced, widowed, or separated, babies were secured by the Children's Aid Society upon release anyways. #Straps #Dungeons #TortureChamber #Adoptee #Adoption
#FRA Injustices removed? Were they? Many women & girls were confined under the FRA & subsequently transferred to other institutions. How do #adoptees know if they were born of a FRA mother? They won't! Too many legislative barriers preventing knowledge of. #HiddenHistories
Was your relative apprehended? Women & girls were stigmatized, shamed & traumatized into silence, taking their grim confinement story to the grave. In a book called Disability Injustice, Raymond states: “Pieces of legislation, such as the Female...👇 #SecretMercerBabies #Adoptees
Man beats wife, fined. Man beats wife, 2nd time, Extra-Mural Permit. Man beats wife, 3rd time, jailed. Now children secured for domestic service & #adoption as the wife is unable to support them. Full story coming soon about one of the children later at Mercer & so much more!
Adoptees not knowing the truth regarding their adoption is a world-wide problem. Here in Ont most adoptees born of criminalized mothers are still not aware! Many girls were detained in Industrial Schools later called Ont Training Schools (OTS). 1/4
Out of sight of pubic view, women & girls were caged in dark cells, with only bread & water · Aug 1900 attempted suicide · Jul 1901 attempted suicide · Nov 1902 drunkenness Whatever happened to young Ethel after release of her 3rd incarceration? Article Mar 1903
Healing through art. Ancestors incarcerated at Mercer several times. Tragically his grandmother was killed shortly after release causing his father to be raised in a foster home never knowing his own mother was dead. Please like, share & support his work. facebook.com/profile.php?id…
#PrisonBabies, Unwed Mothers & Adoption Unwed mothers were prevented from recording a father’s name on a birth reg. O. Reg. 158/18 prohibits the release of identifying info to an #adoptee &/or next of kin. Denied paternal identity & all its implications! #HiddenHistories
The Children's Protection Act had incredible powers to detain girls. Pregnant girls would be incarcerated in maternity homes, or Mercer – babies forcibly adopted. Their records are denied to descendants even today. You may be missing an ancestor and not know it! #HiddenHIstories

Hi #AncestryHour I have been sent pictures of a brooch and wanted to know if anybody knows if there is any significance to the brooch, could it be a mourning brooch perhaps?

To @FamilySearch, If you of all people think #Genealogy research is just clicking and accepting hints, may I ask you to look at the dictionary under the word 'research'? 'Cause this ain't it. If Ancestry can screw up most of the hints I get, I'm not convinced you'd be better.
