Hi, My name is Peter
I have the right and need to express my conscience opinion
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
I can not believe there are no credible records containing
the identity of who my father was?
At the age of fifteen I had hopes the Nuns at Nazareth House would help me locate Dora
Carmine the Nuns said they had no idea how she could be located though it does seem they possibly could have then helped
me as it seems they had a Notification of her Marriage provided to them by my mother's cousin the Revered Father Eugene Carmine
who officiated her marriage in the Parish of Stratford New Zealand
It has been aleged my mother house kept for him there
for several years following her discharge from
Mt Magdala
Perhaps someone in the area of Stratford would be able to ratify if this was a fact
In all my mother had three cousins who were Catholic priests
In 2002 attempting to procure information from an Ordained member of the Catholic Professional
Standards Committee in my view an attempt to stone wall may have occurred when I received a signed undated letter suggesting
that I ask my mother in heaven for the information that I want she died nine years ago and was Cremated
The writer of that letter indicates some people thought my cousin was my father about whom to date unfortunately no different indications can be obtained and I am
keen for someone to provide such credible information
The aleged trip to Lyttelton is strongly thought to be
a fallacy on the grounds it seems a strong rift existed
between the families and it is difficult for persons with whom I have spoken to comprehend
why
Dora and Fay would have been invited to travel unsupervised to Lyttelton upon a train?
To visit persons they never really knew at that specific
time in their lives?
You will read this letter and communication with another Ordained member of the Catholic
church as well as communications with Sister Bernard Mary present charge of Nazareth House here in ChristChurch New Zealand
also Electronic communications with Nazareth House Regional Superrior in Australia.
