(full blooded aboriginal children were not taken away, only the half-caste children) They were taken away from their families. The 'white' Australians wanted to 'breed out' the half black half white blood in these children. They were forced to become like the whites and had to go to church etc. like the white people.
It is commonly believed that full-blooded children were not taken away. This was not always the case. Full-blooded aboriginal children were also removed from their families during the attempts of the European-founded government to completely eradicate the Australian indigenous culture.
The Stolen generation children were placed in institutions where the European language, erligion and culture was forced upon them.

The children that were taken during the time of the stolen generation what happend to them?
It varied. Some were placed in good homes, but they were "white" homes, which were not the homes of the aboriginal children's ancestral youth, so they were not suitable for bringing up children of a completely different culture. Some of these children were placed in institutions, or abused in unsuitable homes. Either way, they lost their connection to the land and their people. Forbidden to speak their language, it is one of the reasons why so many aboriginal languages have been lost.
