Comments by "John Woodrow" (@johnwoodrow8769) on "‘Behind closed doors’: Teachers make children give group apology to stolen generation" video.
I have serious doubts it even occurred in the manner pushed i.e. a deliberate attempt by the state to eradicate aboriginal people. They were neglected children, taken into what was often an inappropriate level of state care that existed for all kids at that time.

It's even debatable that the so called 'stolen generation' as promoted occurred. Is it being suggested that some aboriginal children weren't being neglected or abused in the past and so needed to be taken into state care? And yes, state institutions of a bygone era were often harsh uncaring places, for children of ALL backgrounds. Think the young orphans who were sent to Australia from the UK after WW2 had it any better in our state institutions? THAT is/was the issue.
