I watched an old episode of Call the Midwife today, and I had a good chuckle at how freaking grim this deceptively gentle production gets. It's generally sweet, because everyone's more or less striving to do the best they can in hard circumstances, but the episode in question had this hardluck story about four children put through horrific neglect... then saved! But as a throwaway closer, the narrator informs us they were sent to Australia, where they would be horribly abused again. THE END. 🙃
@MLClark I’m an avid watcher of that show and I remember that episode. I didn’t know the history behind it. Read up on it. 😞
Oh, me, too, Novels. Depressed the heck out of myself as the credits rolled. Thanks for sharing in that grim history with me!

And you do, in ever so many ways. 🫂
@MLClark @Novels56 As do you, groovy soul ^_^
