About this product

Product Information

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 had been deported from children s homes in Britain and shipped off to a new life in distant parts of the Empire the last as recently as 1967. any 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; how it became her mission to reunite these innocent and unwilling exiles with their families in Britain, by founding the Child Migrants Trust.

What a page turner. I couldn't put the book down
Everyone should read this book. It summarises a miscarriage of justice which was done by our government in the 1940s and later on when various charities deported thousands of children from Britain to a new life in distant lands. Many of these children were orphaned,abandoned or illegitimate People lied to them about their backgrounds. Also dreadful acts of physical and sexual abuse was carried out on the migrants behind closed doors. If it hadn't been for a social worker by the name of Margaret Humphries, who worked tirelessly for the campaign, many of these children would have never found out who they belonged to why had they been taken away from the land of their birth. In many cases their ages and names had been changed making it nearly impossible to search for their parents once they ... Everyone should read this book.

In many cases their ages and names had been changed making it nearly impossible to search for their parents once they had become of age. Because Britain sought to rid itself of its so called deprived children They didn't expect to hear anything about the matter again. Until Margaret Humphries came on the scene.
