The whole story behind the stolen generation was one of attempting to totally destroy the culture of a native people that were already in dire straits having been disconnected from their traditional lives, having been the victims of diseases that they could not resist resulting in the erosion of many skills and much of their verbal tradition. The idea of removing these children in some cases may have been under taken with the intention of bettering the lives of these children. And in some cases they did. However you don't have to look far to see that most of these children became victims of mental physical and wholesale sexual abuse in order to further weaken the aboriginal people of Australia. Perhaps Australians should have shown true compassion for aboriginal children by seeing to it that their parents had a reasonable standard of living. After all the indigenous population of Australia is minute.
