The Next Stolen Generation

Why are we once again in the middle of the next stolen generation???? Why are we repeating the same mistakes many years later when we have seen the damage that has been done???? For hundreds of years white people stole Aboriginal Children from their mum's breast and the Australian government is doing the same thing today with women because why??? They are women and mothers. Children are being forcibly remove from their mothers breast to fulfil the rights of man to have access to their children regardless of what this is doing to young children and their mothers.

Mothers are losing their children to the current family laws and I am not just talking about for overnight visits with dad. I am talking children are being removed from the mothers care never to be returned on the pretence that they will be better off with dad. Is this not the same reason many Aboriginal families were torn apart??? Because someone in power thought it would be best for the children??? How many more families have to suffer this fate before they once again realise how wrong they are and how much trauma they are causing families and children??? In 100 years we are going to once again going to see an Australian prime minister apologising to the Australian public for today's governments mistakes. But by then its going to be too late just like it was for the Aboriginal people.

This pain is going to be carried through from generation to generation. Past governments wanted to destroy the Aboriginal culture and they were almost successful in doing so. The government today wants to destroy the notion of mothers and they are succeeding slowly. I know several mothers who have lost complete access to their children. The children they carried inside them for 9 months, the children they birthed, the children they loved before meeting them, the children they would give their life for, the children the promised to protect and this is destroying mothers. These mothers are not abusive or incapable, these mothers tried to protect their children and they are being punished. Just like the Aboriginal people who tried to protect their young and were punished for doing so all in the name of the law.

Me, I am an Aboriginal person and I was effected by the stolen generation and do not know my ancestors. Me, I am also a single mother who is going to be effected by the new stolen generation because my ex has decided after almost 7 years he is now entitled to be a father. I will be punished for trying to protect my child just as my ancestors were punished too. I will not allow the government to destroy the notion of mother as they destroyed my culture. Will you allow the government to steal the next generation of children??????



This person could be you, this person could be your friend, this person could be any body and no one can help her or her children. The next stolen generation. The next culture destroyed. Mothers no longer needed.
