Thousands of children were sent abroad from Scotland from the latter part of the 19th century until well into the second half of the 20th century.
UK governments must bear the majority of the blame for failing to halt “abusive” child migration schemes, an inquiry has found.
Her first volume, published in March, found the child migration system was “abusive” and resulted in “many children being abused”. “What is particularly striking is the failure of successive UK governments to terminate the practice of child migration; these governments must bear the brunt of the blame for the continuation of child migration policies.
