I put it here because I found it so weird and a bit shocking as well. I have never heard this before. Is this commonly known? It was in the NYT today.

Australian Leader Apologizes for Child Migrants

Quote:
The children were gathered up by the tens of thousands, some of them as young as 3, taken from single mothers and impoverished families in Britain, then sent abroad for what was supposed to be a better start in life. What they found was isolation, physical and sexual abuse, and what the prime minister of Australia said Monday was “the absolute tragedy of childhoods lost.”
