In Britain, during the same time, impoverished families struggled to provide essential care for their children. In an attempt to solve both country’s problems, Britain sent over 100,000 children between the ages of 4 months and 18 years to fill the population vacancy in Canada. The young British children who were ripped from their poor parents arms were distributed to farms across Canada.…

    The Australian administrative body has realized the fact that there are certain parental responsibilities which are supposed to be performed by the parents, caregivers to the children as the necessities of life, and include – financial support, food, clothing, accommodation, healthcare and access to education. The children who are included under this provision are usually up to the age of 16 years; children of older age are also included under certain special circumstances like disabilities. The duties also include the protection of the children from any kind of harm which may affect them severely as a result of abuse and neglect. In Australia, the failure by a parent to provide the basic needs that a child is required, or to protect from any harm which is a consequence of abuse or neglect, amounts to an offence under the general law of land. The child protection law is strict enough to expose the abusive and neglecting parents or care givers to criminal proceedings as the consequences of the criminal conviction.…
