My website is about my mother
who was innocent of worldly temptations
and how at the young tender age of 15years it
seems that some how she became pregnant whilst in the trusted care of Nazreth House
Catholic Orphanage
Christchurch, New Zealand
This heavily involves me and also my family I am seeking answers for the truth pertaining to what occurred
approximately three months to the date of her fathers death which was on the 15 of September 1940
By the early December of 1940 somehow someone subjected the now Orphaned young Dorothy (Dora) Carmine to the unlawful act of Carnal Knowledge of which I am the product and it seems the Police
don't seem to have received a complaint lodged in the interest of this Orphaned Girl Child whose cherrished mother had unfortunately died in the June of 1934
It seems there were no boys at Nazareth House and it had been alleged by distant relatives that my father was a Catholic priest
Nazareth House has not produced any recorded documentation to prove my mothers pregnancy occurred else where and for that matter neither have the Welfare with whom Nazareth House in 1941 were required
to adhere to the then Child Welfare Act 1925 and it's Amendments Act 1927 Catholic Orphanages were bound by that then Child Welfare Act which gave the manager of an Orphange the same powers as the then Superintendent of the then Child Welfare Division had over children in State Care
There was no licence of impunity for either party not to involve the Police in this serious matter of what is now termed Sexual Abuse by way of Carnal Knowledge of a child in the trusted care of the Sisters at Nazareth House
is extremely difficult to comprehend
The then Child Welfare Act classified any person under the age of seventeen years as a child
I am of the opinion a then Child Welfare Officer should have spent time observing the Nazareth House Register or which ever mode of recording methods were used regarding a residents outing and by whom they were escorted it must have been necessary to establish into whose care Dorothy (Dora) Carmine had been entrusted on or about the time of conception and either way I think the then
Child Welfare should have ensured Police involvement and themselves retained credible documentation for obvious reasons
I think both parties should have a record identifying the person with whom Nazareth House arranged to receive my maintenance payments from as it seems the then Sisters at Nazareth House passed those maintenance payments to the Licenced Foster Home
I would think the then Child Welfare Department would have required documented evidence to substantiate
the payer was honoring their obligation it seems that person had made with the then Sisters at Nazareth House
It also seems fair to think the payer must have been known to at least be trustworthy with the ability to adhere to the agreement in which it seems the then Sisters had entered by way of accepting payments from the payer
As I tell you about her
It seems twelve days after my birth my mother was admitted to Mt Magdala I have no idea how she may have
struggled with what is in my view it seems she may have been paying her pennance by becoming an inmate at Mt Magdala
How I have tried to find my family roots and the identity of who my birth father was?
for myself, my children and my grand children
In not only my view it seems there must have been a specific reason why the then Child Welfare Act may have perhaps been ignored by seemingly not involving the Police
in such a serious matter
