Victoria to offer redress for mothers whose babies were taken under forced adoption

Too little, too damn late, typical of a patriarchal, misogynistic controlled society. It is a subject that has always angered me. Humanity gone wrong and supposedly Christian values of compassion, yeah right that preaches forgiveness bull crap. 

How on earth do people heal from this damage? Some people would have died before getting the chance to find their child or parent. This is utterly unforgivable and even the parents of young women that made the poor young women  give up their babies should never be forgiven; parents that have no compassion for their  daughters but don’t make the man that impregnated their daughter man up, and be held accountable.

 But the young woman is treated like a social leper and the young man is treated like a hero, and sometimes it can be a married older man that is responsible for this and  gets no flack for what he does. Men get away with destroying lives of the mother and child and just shrug it off as dodging a bullet. No one gives a thought to what the young woman is suffering mentally and emotionally. How on earth can a mother put their own daughter through this abuse?

This is a horrendous abuse of power by anyone that is in a position of authority over a young and vulnerable woman, including the parents. Nothing can make up for this damage. There is the psychological harm done to the children as the grow up and find out the truth and that leaves them feeling lost and incomplete. Respect is a one way street even to this day.
