Police have so far received 57 reports, including from mothers who have never met their children
Police have started a programme of community outreach to speak with victims of historical institutions for women.
Adele Johnstone, from Birth Mothers and their Children for Justice, has urged others who spent time in institutions to come forward and speak to police. "A lot of people have been shamed and stigmatised for years, and it has been done by the institutions, by the government of the day, by social workers.
"A lot of the girls and women were very young girls, they were children, and it is time this was addressed and brought out into the public domain. Detective Superintendent Gary Reid is leading a full-time investigation team into the institutions which is supplemented by analysts and other specialist resources when required.
