What about Rosemarie Kennedy? Old Joe Kennedy had her lobotomized and shut up in a mental institution in Jefferson, Wisconsin, with minimal contact from her family.
Not many people remember her. I think that was the idea.

It makes me sick what those despicable people did to Rosemary. Yes, she was somewhat developmentally “slow,” but otherwise normal, if a little wild in her behavior.
But Joe Kennedy wouldn’t stand for the possibility of such imperfection in his perfect little world, so he had her “dealt with.” May he burn in hell forever.
“Old Joe Kennedy had her lobotomized and shut up in a mental institution in Jefferson, Wisconsin...”
So THAT’S what happened to Ted! Now I understand...
My family hails from nearby Ft. Atkinson. We drove past that sanitorium often, always pondering the fate of the Kennedy housed within.
