Thousands of British kids sent to Australia after being removed from their families by the authorities.
Alone in often impoverished and harsh conditions.
Yet most did exceptionally well as there were no lefties to make them feel like victims and keep telling them to complain and ask for apologies.
Amazing how tough times and personal responsibility leads to human excellence
Estimated Orphan Numbers by Region/Country (Post-WWII)
Europe (Total): Estimates range from 1 million to over 13 million, with many children having lost both parents.
Poland: ~300,000.
Yugoslavia: ~200,000.
Netherlands: ~60,000.
Czechoslovakia: ~9,000.
Japan: At least 120,000, including those in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Okinawa.
Soviet Union: Extremely high, though exact totals are difficult to estimate due to the 27 million total casualties.
The number of Aboriginal children in out-of-home care in Western Australia has skyrocketed over the past two decades. In 2003, 570 Aboriginal children were in out-of-home care, 35 percent of those in care. By 2023, this number had risen to 3,068 Aboriginal children, 59 percent. Western Australia has the highest rate of overrepresentation of Aboriginal children in out-of-home care of any state or territory in Australia, and Aboriginal children are more than 20 times more likely to be living in out-of-home care than non-Indigenous children (HRW, 2025).
Why are Aboriginal children still being removed today?
Among the families interviewed, family and domestic violence were the most common reasons parents cited for why the Department of Communities had removed their child, followed by allegations relating to substance use. Others stated their homelessness, neglect allegations, their own incarceration, food insecurity, or physical violence allegations. A couple of parents referred to their children not attending school or failing to provide medical care as reasons (HRW, Report, 2025).
