White Stolen Generation (Australian variant), checking in.
My mother was physically, emotionally and pyschologically tortured by her own government for the simple fact of having had me, out of wedlock.
I was taken as a baby, to be relocated to another family - a "proper, white one", that met the standards of the government at the time.
Mum fought and screamed and kicked down the doors, and got a lawyer. And, a little while later, she got me back.
Australias dark relationship with the criminal UK's baby-stealing human trafficking government is a story that has yet to be fully told... not to mention the atrocities committed on my aboriginal friends during the same period, another heinous circumstance from a fundamentally racist government.
- soco 4y agoWas this standard practice, or was your case a failure of the system? We have in Switzerland the KESB - children and adults protection they call themselves - which as concept is great but they run totally unsupervised so sometimes situations like the one you lived happen under our eyes. Example? Baby taken away without right to recourse right after birth from mother living on social support, under suspicion she was taking drugs (no other motivation).
- aa-jv 4y agoIt was standard practice. The victims were blamed for their own immorality which was used to justify the crime against humanity.

- _HMCB_ 4y agoI can’t imagine anyone doing this to a mother/family. It sickens me. The desperation your mother must have felt is unbearable to think about. I’m glad she fought for you. Thanks for sharing your story.

- aa-jv 4y agoThanks for your kind words. It was a trauman she did not deserve yet she bore it her entire life.
