Fairbridge Farm victims break silence on child abuse

For more than 30 years from the late 1930s, 10,000 children from poverty-stricken British families were brought to Australian boarding institutions in the name of charity. One of the scheme's shining beacons was Fairbridge Farm, 300 kilometres west of Sydney. But a new book, written by a former public administrator touted as one of the farm's success stories, reveals a devastating picture of a school where children as young as four were molested and forced to work long hours.
