Britian apologizes to child migrants

-The British government is apologizing for child migrant programs.





As many as 150,000 poor British children were shipped off to the colonies over 350 years, often taken from struggling families under programs intended to provide them with the new start. Forty years after the program stopped, Britian is apologizing to the child migrants, who were promised a better life only to suffer abuse and neglect thousands of miles from home. The British government said the Prime Minister Goldon Brown would apologize for child migrant programs that sent boys and girls as young as 3 to Australia, Canada, and other former colonies. Many ended up in institutions where they were physically and sexually abused or were sent to work as farm laborers.

영국, 과거 아동 이주에 대해 사과

가난한 집안의 아이들에게 새 출발을 제공한다는 명분하에, 과거 350년에 걸쳐 최대 150,000명의 영국 빈곤층 아동들이 해외 식민지로 보내졌다. 이같은 이주 계획이 중단된지 40년 만에 영국이 이주 아동들에게 사죄의 뜻을 표명한다. 당초 더 나은 삶을 약속했지만 이주 아동들이 집에서 수천 마일 떨어진 곳에서 학대와 무시 속에 살아 왔기 때문. 영국 정부는 호주와 캐나다를 비롯한 과거의 식민지로 이주한 아이들 가운데 겨우 세 살짜리도 있었던 이같은 이주 아동 계획에 대해 고든 브라운 총리가 사과한다고 발표했다. 많은 아이들이 공공시설에 수용되어 신체적, 성적학대를 받았으며 농장에 보내져 노동을 하기도 했다.
