from the Irish Times article that Peter Laban referred to:

What has upset, confused and dismayed her in recent days is the speculative nature of much of the reporting around the story, particularly about what happened to the children after they died. "I never used that word 'dumped'," she says again, with distress. "I just wanted those children to be remembered and for their names to go up on a plaque. That was why I did this project, and now it has taken [on] a life of its own."

And it's the speculation that I object to, also. There's no doubt that we need to find out what happened to all these children, but it's wise not to speculate until something is known.
I live next to a former state tuberculosis sanatorium, a place where many people died and were buried in nondescript graves. It seems that mass graves were common here in California until the 1950s - in March, I went to Fresno and visited the mass grave of the 28 Deportees that Woody Guthrie sang about.

My home's septic tank is a huge, sturdy concrete vault that looks very similar to the concrete vaults used in graveyards. It would not necessarily be an inappropriate grave.

When you speak of a body being "dumped," it has quite a different meaning from "interred." I suppose "placed" is a word that describes what's known without any extraneous implications.

So, maybe it's too soon to speculate, hey?
