What have been some of the long-term effects of Aboriginal children being taken from their families?
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.
What happened to the aboriginal children during the stolen generation?
(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.
