商品の説明
内容説明
Also published as Empty Cradles. In 1986 Margaret Humphreys, a Nottingham social worker, investigated a woman's claim that, aged four, she had been put on a boat to Australia by the British government. At first incredulous, Margaret discovered that this was just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Up to 150,000 children, some as young as three years old, had been deported from children's homes in Britain and shipped off to a 'new life' in distant parts of the Empire, right up until as recently as 1970. Many were told that their parents were dead, and parents often believed that their children had been adopted in Britain. In fact, for many children it was to be a life of horrendous physical and sexual abuse far away from everything they knew. Margaret reveals how she unravelled this shocking secret and how it became her mission to reunite these innocent and unwilling exiles with their families in Britain before it was too late.

oranges and sunshine

形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
A very moving account of the trauma suffered by thousands of children sent from the UK to institutions in Australia, Canada and Rhodesia, often without the knowledge of their parents, and the extent to which the UK and Australian governments and so-called welfare organisations colluded in this practice for decades. The persistence and compassion of UK social worker Margaret Humphries led to many of these children being reunited with close relatives who they had been told had died or abandoned them. The book provides a lot more detail about the callous disregard of these children's interests, the efforts of governments and welfare organisations to conceal what had happened, their attempts to justify it and their reluctance to apologise to or compensate the victims. The book provided the background for a sensitive film with the same title, depicting the plight of these children and Margaret Humphries' campaign to stir the public conscience on their behalf. It is essential reading for anyone caring for childen, their own or other people's.

Very moving

This is a very moving and worring book that some thing like this could happen. I bought the book because it was set close to where I grew up after seeing an ad in a magazine, now I want to see the movie.
This is quite distrubing that children can be sent to another country with so little regard for their welfare and continueing growth, they were treated no better than cattle. How many other things do we not know about that the government have set up with othere countries.
This is a good read.
