  Scandal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
A scandal involves widely publicised allegations of wrong-doing, disgrace or moral outrage.

Often, an attempt to cover-up a scandal ignites a greater scandal when the cover-up fails.

 Magdalen Asylum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magdalen Asylums grew out of the rescue movement in Britain and Ireland in the 19th century, which had as its formal goal the rehabilitation of women who had worked as prostitutes.
Asylum records show that in the early history of the Magdalen movement, many women entered and left the institutions on their own accord, sometimes repeatedly.
The existence of the asylums was little thought of until, in 1993, an order of nuns in Dublin sold part of their convent to a real estate developer.

 Wikipedia: Magadalene Sisters Asylum Scandal
The Magadalene Sisters Asylum Scandal was a scandal in Ireland starting in the early 2000s concerning a system of Roman Catholic Church convents and their systematic gross violation of the human rights of the female inmates.
It became public knowledge that these convents, which were intended to house women who were judged as violating the prevailing female sexual social mores, subjected their inmates to de facto slave labour, predominately in laundries.
It has been estimated that around 30,000 women were imprisoned during the 150-year history of these convents and they were not entirely closed down until September 25, 1996.
