Based on a true story, The Forgotten Child is a heart-breaking memoir of an abandoned newborn baby left to die, his tempestuous upbringing, and how he came through the other side. It’s a freezing winter’s night in 1954. A baby boy, a few hours old, is left by his mother, wrapped in nothing but two sheets of newspaper and hidden amongst the undergrowth by a canal bank. An hour later, a late-shift postman is walking wearily home when he hears a faint cry. He finds the newspaper parcel and discovers the newborn, white-cold and whimpering, inside. After being rushed to hospital and against all odds, the baby survives. He’s baptised by the hospital chaplain as Richard.

No effort was made to keep siblings together. They were allotted beds/cottages where there were vacancies; During his remarkable career, David Hill has been chairman then managing director of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation; chairman of the Australian Football Association; chief executive and director of the State Rail Authority; chairman of Sydney Water Corporation; a fellow of the Sydney University Senate; and chairman of CREATE (an organisation representing Australian children in institutional care). No one deserves to live in a corner, especially not children. Our little ones deserve to be attended to with caring words. They deserve our time even when we have had a long day. Furthermore, t hey deserve our never-ending patience and consolation.What manner of human minds could conspire to develop such cruel and soul destroying enterprises?

That it went horribly wrong should have come as no surprise to it's drafters and schemers, it had all the hallmarks for a disastrous outcome... at least for the innocent.

[5] Reception [ edit ] In 2006 he was awarded a Diploma of Arts with merit in classical archaeology from Sydney University. He is an honorary associate at the Sydney University departments of archaeology, classics and ancient history, and a visiting fellow at the University of New South Wales. Hill recounts his own experience, but admits that as he was older when he arrived and there for only 3 years, he suffered less than many in comparison. Hill uses accounts and anecdotes from plenty of other Fairbridge children- with wide range of ages/ dates of attendance. These show the variety of experience at Molong- some remember staff in different lights- whilst also corroborating and fleshing out the abuse and neglect they suffered. These incredibly sad stories are recounted in a stoic manner- not emotional, but instead rather matter of fact.

One sibling wishes I did not write any of this down or mention our mother, but had I have done that it would have remained the secret that she wanted to keep. Had the book not have been done I would still be The Forgotten Child." Brodesser, Claude; Swanson, Tim (November 8, 2001). "Kidman's interested in 'Forgotten' role". Variety . Retrieved April 23, 2022. I particularly loved the pace and detail in the narrative of this book. It was also nice to read that somewhere out there in the fifties was a kids home where the children were loved and looked after rather than abused.
