The Catholic Church in Ireland worked with the state to heavily police children born out of wedlock, unsupervised and unkempt children, poor children, and children from any living situation not considered Catholic enough. Petty crime and the perceived risk of sexual immorality were also reasons for placing children in reformatory or industrial schools.
