Bill, I have read a few books about this most evil decision the government used to get rid of children who it was decided was costing a lot of money. It was thought these children were orphans, but they were children in care, who had families . I knew a girl when we lived in Somerset and her dad had been in care and remembered a little sister. He eventually found her about 50 years later. She had been sent to Canada, but her older brother was given to a local farming family, to work in the farm. I was shocked to read this was still going on in the 1960’s.
