Det burde ikke være ukjent her på forum om hvordan urbefolkningen i Australien systematisk gennem mange år blev frastjålet sine barn, systemtisk og for forældrene på det tynneste grunlag vi kan forestille os. Heldigvis er det nu gjort slut på utingen, og de har fåt oprejsning og unskyldning fra landet selv.
Vi refererer til disse mange barn når vi snakker om retferdighet og oprejsning til ulovlige adoptioner og oprejsning til barnevernsbarn.
Det samme har sket i Canada og Usa og I Canda er det endelig en beklagelse til Indianere.
I want to start making t-shirts: "Hey Mr Rudd - where's my apology?"
Jeg vet ikke riktig jeg, men betyr det at dillen med å stjele barn fra enlige mødre er som et isbjerg ? Mindre end 10% er kjent, og mindre end 1% er anerkjent som en fejl fra myndigheternes side ?

funny thing is - our voice is probably 100 times larger, but no-one wants to listen to us because too many people have benefitted from our mistreatment.
there are probably 1.5 million people in Australia affected by the (at least) 300,000 known illegal adoptions in this country. Estimates of aboriginal removal range from 10,000 children to 100,000 children.

Synopsis
Duration: 1 x 52’
For three decades, from the 1950s to the 1970s, Australian authorities pressured many unmarried mothers to give up their babies for adoption into what they considered "better" homes - those of married couples. At a time when society had no place for single mothers and their illegitimate children, these women were unaware of their legal rights. Sometimes they were coerced, even drugged, and their babies literally stolen. Despite arguments that the practice was well-intentioned, for the individuals involved the ongoing impact has been devastating. This documentary explores the experiences of these women and their efforts to contact their children and gain recognition for past wrongs, while revealing the dramatic change in social values that has since occurred.

Har tillagt et link til Den ultimative Canadiske løsning, og en artikkel omkring Grønlandske barn. Den modellen med 10 måneder på kostskole og 2 måneder hjemme hos forældrene ble også brukt mot Samene ?
