For several decades, the UK sent
children across the world to new lives in institutions where many were
abused and used as forced labour. It's a scandal that is still having
repercussions now.
Imagine the 1950s, in the years before air
travel became commonplace or the internet dominated our lives. Imagine
being a child of those times, barely aware of life even in the next
town. An orphan perhaps, living in a British children's home.http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39078652?post_id=10204672433356106_10208928322110665#_=_
