The Stolen Generation and its Cruelty


The Stolen Generation was a terrible idea. Innocent children were taken away from their families and put into white home families. They were treated like slaves for the rest of their lives. Their rich culture and language were taken away, just in a blink. The white people, in that time, were enormously reckless.


Aboriginal children were snatched from under their mothers' noses. They were put in to children's home and stayed there, until white families adopt them as their slave. They were devastated because of being taken away by the ones that love them. 


The children were treated like slaves. At the end of the day, they were exhausted and tired. Their hands bled from cooking and cleaning. Their feet wobbled, like jelly, because of the sweeping and they were sunburned by gardening. They were forced to do adult work for all their lives.


Their rich culture and language were taken away from them, faster than the speed of light! they were shouted at if they spoke their language. They were banned from their language.


The strict rules at the childrens' home, were too much for children. The Aboriginal children were enslaved by the white people. I am glad it doesn't happen today.
