How many aboriginal children were taken from their families in total in the stolen generation period?
Between 1910 and 1970 up to 100,000 Aboriginal children were taken forcibly or under duress from their families by police or welfare officers. Most were under 5 years old. Between 10 and 30% of all Aboriginal children were removed, and in some places these policies continued into the 1970s. http://www.eniar.org/stolengenerations.
