The tragedy of 5 girls who once became

5 girls brought Canada tourism half a billion dollars, but they had to go through childhood "not treated like people".

During 9 years, from 1934 to 1943, about 3 million people flocked to Quintland tourist hotspots in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. At that time, Quintland was even more famous and attracted customers than Niagara Falls.

To reach this far away place, the travelers had to go through a trip not easy. They had to plunge into rough roads, dense forests, marshes in the wilderness to get close to the village of Corbeil, northern Ontario.

Quintland is a modern building with gardens and high fences. A corridor was built high along the garden. Guests coming here will go into that corridor and look down at the garden through the one-way glass (outside see inside but the inside cannot see outside). Inside the garden are five identical girls and dressed in similar clothes, having fun - the most famous babies in North America at that time.

Each view, the corridor can accommodate up to 100 guests at a time. Estimates every day, Quintland welcomes about 6,000 visitors to just watch the other 5 girls play.

Those five girls are Canada and the world's most famous egg year births in the 1930s and until now. At that time, when medicine was not developed, birth at the same time 5 children and all were healthy was a rare and miraculous thing. Allan Roy Dafoe was born to a doctor who gave birth to babies.

Girls named Annette, Emilie, Yvonne, Cecile and Marie, respectively . They are the daughter of the poor farmer couple Oliva and Elzire Dionne. From the beginning, the little angels have received considerable attention from the Canadian government and public opinion. Many suggested that the father bring 5 young daughters to exhibitions for visitors to admire and collect money. Elzire, for profit, agreed to that.

When the children were four months old, the Ontario government discovered it and deprived Dionne of the right to care for their children. 5 girls were taken back to Quintland, where the government built up to serve the children alone. Dr. Dafoe is primarily responsible for the care. Thanks to that, Dafoe earns a lot of money from writing articles and activities related to yearly births. He is also one of the most famous medical names in Canada.

Because of the attractiveness of the children, Quintland quickly became a tourist hotspot of the country. People rushed here to see these sisters with their own flesh and bones. In the first year of living in Quintland, the girls brought back to the government a profit of $ 1 million and $ 500 million for nearly 20 years later.

When he was 9, his parents won the case and won the custody of their children. However, when they move back to live with their parents, they are also not happy. They do not receive the full love of their father and siblings - who are already too jealous of their sister's popularity. The only one who loves, loves them as mother.

Here, the girls continue to earn money to support their families. They often appear in interviews and are invited to the US to admire the public. The influence of strong girls to the extent that Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) also wanted to meet.

The small house is adjacent to Quebec, where birth 5 was born and the house was spacious and their parents bought with their daughter's money, quickly became the destination of tourists. Although at that time, 5 girls did not appear much in public but tens of thousands of visitors still flocked here to see them. At the time of not having custody of the children, the girls' father even opened a souvenir shop to serve visitors to Quintland to see their children.

By the age of 19, all 5 moved out of the house they lived with their parents. Three out of five girls have accused of being abused by their parents at a young age. However, they chose to remain silent instead of telling the truth about the time of abuse, because they could not find someone close enough and could protect them.

One of the five sisters, Emilie, later went to live in a convent and died at the age of 20 because of a disaster. Yvonne lives alone. The other three are married. Marie died in 1970 because of brain hematoma.

At the age of 21, the Ontario government divided it into four girls, nearly $ 200,000 each from the huge profits they brought. In 1998, three survivors decided to sue the Ontario government for separating them from their parents at a young age and what they had to spend their childhood. Finally, they are compensated with the amount of about 3 million USD. After deducting the cost of hiring attorneys, they divided the amount of the money into four, each of them holding a part, the rest they sent to Marie's children.

At the age of 82, Cecile was tricked into selling his house by his son and taking all the money and leaving the difference. Currently, she lives sparingly with a small pension, less than 1,000 USD. The 5-year-old sister with Cecile, Annette was also unable to financially support her sister and was too weak to look after her. "When we get older and don't have money, we are nothing. They have forgotten us , " Cecile said quietly.(Photo: Montrealgazette).

In an interview in 2016, the conversation with the press after nearly 20 years of not appearing in public, Cecile said she used to be depressed when she was young because of her life. All 5 sisters realized that their childhood was never happy.

The life of this year's birth also received sympathy from public opinion. Many people also agree with the view, they have gone through years of unhappy childhood when they become "bait" to lure tourists and help the government make money. Meanwhile, it must be a time when they can live with their families and receive the full love of their parents.
