Took the children away by From the early 1900s Australia’s states and territories introduced laws that allowed government agencies to take Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children away from their families. Tens of thousands of children were taken away across Australia. They are now known as the Stolen Generations.
Children who were taken away from their families were more likely to experience abuse and to suffer from depression and other mental illnesses. Also because they were almost always taught to reject their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, they couldn’t keep their links to their land or be part of the cultural and spiritual life of their Indigenous communities.
