  • but the police can arrested them all!

  • Hi Rayleene there will always be a special you inside that they will never get too, nor touch, nor will they every know and understand you, but I think I do.

    Your survival is a testimony to that real special you.

  • they refused to provide any protections of them body , hands and foots

  • i dislike this i want call the police or make come the FBI to arrest the monsters of child slave

    they don t have feed them and they make thist them .

    they refused to cure them and they refused to provide medecine and hospitalisation.

    they make work them to day in night.

    they refused them social life and modernity.

    they refused to provide anything convenable in them size and they refused provide anything of them needing and piss.

  • What a hollow apology the heads of state have made this.

    Anyway...all my foster parents said that after they flogged me "OH Sorry"

    This will hurt us more than you....etc.

    A well executed speech MR Rudd.... did you actually read it or simply recite it???

    Nothing said means anything anymore......actions can be the only redress/ .

  • gosh its just a few words.

  • I don,t blame kevin rudd personally..only the welfare system..and the goverment laws that allowed..the abuse to myself and every other child who was in goverment run or religious run homes...and of course the abusive adults who hurt us emotionally or physically.

  • goverment homes treated myself cruely...I was in a home from the age of 1year until I was thrown out at age 15 in 1983...it left me with a pshyciatric illness..that is a life long problem for myself and my young ones...an apology is o.k. ..but I believe they owe me compensation for abandoning me as a minor in their care and for the mistreatment of myself in the years that they raised me...my real family could have done a better job..rose.b of ballarat victoria.
