In 1947 the SS Asturias took the first post-war child immigrants to Australia

The story of the British child migrants sent to Australia has been described as a history of lies, deceit, cruelty and official disinterest and neglect.

Before being shipped out to Britain's distant dominion, many of the children were told their parents were dead, and that a more abundant life awaited them in Australia.

Most were deported without the consent of their parents, and commonly, mothers and fathers were led to believe that their children had been adopted somewhere in Britain.

On arrival in Australia, the policy was to separate brothers and sisters.

And many of the young children ended up in what felt like labour camps, where they were physically, psychologically and often sexually abused.  FULL STORY

White Children were the FIRST Slaves in US

Don Jordan and Michael Walsh are the English authors of White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain’s White Slaves in America (New York, New York University Press, 2008)

There, you will learn that those white “indentured servants” were in fact slaves just as much as the blacks, enslaved in conditions just as bad, and that white slaves were imported into this country almost as long as blacks.  Indeed, the first slaves imported into the American colonies were 100 white children unaccompanied by parents. They arrived during Easter, 1619, four months before the arrival of a much more infamous shipment of black slaves. (P. 76)

Sometimes, the slavers literally tore children from the arms of their parents. White Cargo tells us: “. . . No child from either the town or the surrounding countryside seems to have been safe from the merchants’ agents. They operated openly and with impunity. When parents who had lost their children came looking for them in the town, their elation at finding them still incarcerated awaiting embarkation was short lived on their discovery that they were powerless to bring their children home. . . .” (Pp. 237-38)

The kidnappers were paying off the local judges. Most parents could not afford to pay for the food their kiddos had consumed while prisoners. That’s right! The parents had to pay for that. They had to watch in impotent horror as their children were marched aboard slave ships and sent away to the colonies forever.

Sounds exactly like Children's "Protective" "Services" doesn't it?

Mr. Peabody and Sherman learn about the
Orphan Trains

Gee, Mr. Peabody, things are sure bad for kids now.  They don't know from day to day if they will be picked up, have some CPS pervert look at their private parts, take them to some strange place and dope them up and never see their mommy or daddy again.  Has it ever been this bad anytime in history?

Sherman, yes dear boy. In the late 1800's to early 1900's the ORPHAN TRAINS got so bad that people were BEATING UP SPCC (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) agents to keep them from SNATCHING THE KIDS.  In fact, only after a lawsuit did the entire farce collapse.  The first step was disbanding SPCC and reorganizing it into the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Gee, Mr. Peabody!  You mean these people are still around today?

OH YES, Sherman, Set the WABAC machine to 1879 and let's go see what the ORPHAN TRAINS were all about!
