About the Book

A Gruesome Account on the Stigmatization of Unwed Pregnancies and The Infamous Life and Health Sanitarium where the Sick get well

The Life and Health Sanitarium also known as the Ideal Maternity Home, founded in the early 1900s by the divisive William and Lila Young, offered a sanctuary for pregnant women who were marginalized by society. However, a web of hypocrisy and avarice lurked beneath its seemingly altruistic exterior. The Youngs ran a satanic business that pretended to be a medical clinic and an adoption agency; they sold babies for profit while subjecting helpless moms to horrible torture. However, this shady history only came to light in the 1990s, with the finding of the Butterbox Babies. These babies, whose unmarked graves dot the grounds of the Home, came to represent the systematic brutality and neglect that innumerable mothers and their children had to endure.

The mother released from the hospital without her child, what became of her when everything was said and done? Still nursing from giving birth, she was robbed of her child and motherhood as she was shackled with milk-flowing breasts; she was also warned not to tell anybody her secret. She had been severely traumatized. What happened to the little child who was torn away from its mother's warmth, skin, voice, fragrance, and touch? As an adult, that child grows up without access to birth records and faces the shame and discrimination of trying to find his/her biological family.

At its core, the story of the Ideal Maternity Home might be interpreted as a cautionary tale of shame and tragedy. The Home was a growing disgrace to the general government and to the small group of highly skilled child welfare workers in the area. It revealed significant deficiencies in the province's child welfare system and identified the region as lagging behind in several aspects of its social policy. This story also explores deep into the tragic account of the children commonly known as the Butterbox Babies and the infamous Ideal Maternity Home, which unwed mothers believed to be a safe haven, shining light on a piece of Canadian history that is remains cloaked in mystery and pain.
