The removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families gained national attention in Australia following the Bringing Them Home Report in 1997. However, the voices of Indigenous parents were largely missing from the Report. The Inquiry attributed their lack of testimony to the impact of trauma and the silencing impact of parents' overwhelming sense of guilt and despair; a submission by Link-Up NSW commented on Aboriginal mothers being ';unwilling and unable to speak about the immense pain, grief and anguish that losing their children had caused them.'This book explores what happened to Aboriginal mothers who had children removed and why they have overwhelmingly remained silent about their experiences. Identifying the structural barriers to Aboriginal mothering in the Stolen Generations era, the author examines how contemporary laws, policies and practices increased the likelihood of Aboriginal child removal and argues that negative perceptions of Aboriginal mothering underpinned removal processes, with tragic consequences. This book makes an important contribution to understanding the history of the Stolen Generations and highlights the importance of designing inclusive truth-telling processes that enable a diversity of perspectives to be shared.

Denne bog formidler resultaterne af en landsdækkende spørgeskemaundersøgelse om forholdene på danske døgninstitutioner og socialpædagogiske opholdssteder og om, hvad der karakteriserer de børn og unge, som er anbragt på de to typer af institutioner.Bogen sætter derudover fokus på institutioner med interne skoler og de børn og unge, der modtager deres undervisning på en intern skole, og den formidler analyser af stabilitet og mangel på samme for de børn og unge, der er anbragt på døgninstitutioner og socialpædagogiske opholdssteder.Vi har en meget begrænset viden om, hvilke børn og unge der i dag anbringes på døgninstitutioner og socialpædagogiske opholdssteder.

Der formidles ligeledes viden om børnenes og de unges anbringelsesårsager samt anbringelseshistorik, herunder børnenes og de unges særlige behov, psykiatriske diagnoser, skolegang med videre. Desuden belyses børnenes og de unges sociale relationer, herunder relationer til forældre, søskende og jævnaldrende.Endvidere formidles undersøgelsens resultater på en række områder i forhold til børnenes og de unges fraflytninger, herunder hvor de flytter hen, om fraflytningen er planlagt samt hvor mange af de fraflyttede unge over 17 år, som modtager efterværn.Endelig formidles viden om selve anbringelsesprocessen, herunder om baggrunde for kommunens valg af anbringelsessted, inddragelse af institutionen og samarbejdet med den anbringende kommune samt inddragelse af børnene og de unge og deres forældre i forbindelse med valget af anbringelsesforanstaltning.Med bidrag fra: Signe Hald Andersen, Anne Sofie Tegner Anker, Emil Anton Libak Simonsen
