The people who did it should personally I don't think there were many of us actually knew.

I'm not sure it was done with evil intent either, many on this side of the pond thought they were doing their best for the kids.

I think it was done with evil intent like a lot of atrocities committed by this not so great Britain over the centuries. Some of those poor children were told their parents were dead, which was untrue.

Re: Compensation for Children sent to Australia

This statement in the report is the most damning indictment of UK government.

It concludes that the welfare of the children was consistently ignored in favour of politics.
