Governments around the world,
are using "Child Protection Agencies"
to take children away from loving families
and place them in foster care or group homes.
THESE FAMILIES NEED PROTECTING.

How awful that the Australian Government stole a generation of children away from their Aboriginal Parents.
And as you pointed out (and the website you referred to shows) Aboriginal Children are still being taken away in high numbers from their families even today.
These atrocities have got to stop!
This is not only a problem from the past. Governments have not yet learned any lessons -- and children all over the world are still being ripped away from loving and caring families, just because government Social Workers make ill-informed and often vindictive decisions that these families do not deserve to stay together.
Thank-you for bringing this to light @girlbeforemirror !
Thank you for your support. I will be writing more on the subject of child and family safety in future.
Ruby hunter is but one untold story.
I did a follow up on an art appreciation post. I speculated that the artist was Koori (indigenous). I shouldn't have been surprised that the background of his story involves the removal of his father from his family and culture, and his art a re engagement with that culture. https://steemit.com/art/@girlbeforemirror/an-unexpected-doctors-visit-yesterday-proved-very-revealing-regarding-the-paintings-i-admired
