Cause the children that were taken were part Aboriginal, part European (English) so the government thought they had the right to take the children.
If children looked old enough to manage manual labour, then they might have been taken away from their families to work. Otherwise they may well have gone straight to their deaths with their families.
Evacuees.
In most cases, a divorce will not delay getting children back from Children's Service. It will really depend on the reasons why the children were taken from the parents.
They were taken from their families because the Europeans thought that they weren't capable of caring for children. They took them away and took them to isolated camps called missions.
From the earliest days of British occupation of Australia, the Government allowed the removal of Aboriginal children from their families. These children are known as the 'stolen generation.' They were raised in institutions, or fostered out to white families. Between 1910 and 1970 up to 100 000 Aboriginal children were taken forcibly or under duress from their families by welfare officers or police. The reasons for how and why these Aboriginal children were removed from their families will be discussed. The main motives behind the Government policy, reasons given by the government will be explored. How the children were taken and what happened to them will be explained.
No. Dates (years) should never have an apostrophe. It is a common mistake for people to write years with an apostrophe.It should be written as: During the early 1900s to 1960s, 100 000 children of Aboriginal descent were taken away from their families.
The children of the stolen generation were taken away from police officers in the area. Children that were 'half-caste' were taken away from their families because at the time the white people thought it was a good idea, they were taken to camps and missionaries around the state. From there they were taught to speak english, clean, wash themselves, eat properly and to be Christian. A good movie to watch is Rabbit Proof fench.
It is believed that about 100,000 Aborigine children who were taken from their families and adopted into white households as part of the government's program of forced assimilation. No one really knows the exact number.
Some indigenous children that were taken from their families had been violated, sometimes brutally. Many victims were sexually abused, and some welfare officials neglected their duty in caring for victims. Some of the stolen children never found their parents or family members and most of them still are distraught from the treatment they got as children. When the aboriginal children were forcibly taken from their families, this directly led to a loss of culture, language, customs and traditions among the Aborigines. When the Europeans first came to Australia, there were around 250 different aboriginal languages in Australia. There is just a fraction of that number now. Many stories from the aboriginal Dreaming (creation legends) have disappeared forever.
