As a visitor, you missed a small part of the Australain psyche. We tried your approach back in the 1960's. Any Aboriginal family that looked even slightly disfunctional and "whoosh" the children were removed to be saved from their situation. About 15 years later as those children started to grow up we finally realised we weren't doing them any favours. They grew up displaced, confused and entirely disfunctional, whereas the ones that stayed behind sometimes went bad and sometimes turned into great people. We don't do it anymore unless the child is truely at risk as your best chance in life is to grow up amongst your family and peers, not be hauled off to an alien lifestyle and strangers (no matter how well meaning they are.)
