Britain and Australia are saying sorry to thousands of British children who were promised a better life overseas, only to suffer abuse and neglect thousands of miles from home.
At a ceremony in the Australian capital of Canberra attended by tearful former child migrants, Mr. Rudd apologized for his country's role in the migration and extended condolences to the 7,000 survivors of the program who still live in Australia.

It was a good news that Kevin rudd apologized for the children and start some new policy, but it also bad. Why apologized? If no child was regarded bad, They were no need to say sorry. Children is our future, the country's develop is related to them. So let the children have better life, better education. The world will have better future.
