Can someone actually clarify what happened with the 'stolen generation' ?

Were they simply stolen....or were they taken from their families?
What were the reasons behind them taking the children away? Was it due to the families not being able to support their children?



Because everyday there are children being taken from their families due to government agencies etc who feel that the families cannot support their children....and its these decisions that are made by people who sit behind desks and generally have no history of bringing up a family. Yet these same families dont get help from the government with bringing up a family etc so why are they not having a 'sorry day' because either way...whether your aboriginal or caucasian, having your child taken away from you would be one of the most traumatic experiences one would have.
