Youth homelessness The problem of homelessness is a serious issue in Australia. The Australian Human Rights Commission (2006) says that “homelessness is defined under Australian federal law as ‘inadequate access to safe and secure housing’.” According to the ABS (2011), the number of homeless people was 89,728 and 105,237 in 2006 and 2011 respectively. As can be seen from the statistics, the number of homeless people rose by approximately 17% during those five years. The homeless were classified into several main groups, youth, women and people with mental illness. Youth homelessness is a focus group, and they should get more attention.
Laura Myers Psyc October 11, 2012 Negative Effects Of Children in Foster Care at the Infant Stage of Life The negative effects on children that are placed in foster care at the infant stage of life can be the result of many actions by the foster parent and the caseworker, as well as how much visitation the children have with their nature parent. Over the years many studies have been conducted in this area of children affected by foster care placement. These studies showed that there are a few negative effects on children placed in foster care at the infant stage of life. Among these are emotional problems, bonding issues, and identity issues with themselves and parental figures. Although doctors, counselors, and foster care workers try their hardest to protect the children placed in foster care, the damage can and still does occur.
During this period, there was harsh treatment for children and was more severe for children at the age of seven as it was believed that childhood seized at that age (Beukes & Gannon, 1996). Beukes and Gannon also points out that children were recognised for their economic worth and that many children were exploited for their labour, thus child labour and stealing for this purpose was not uncommon. Poor children were moved to mils and mines and worked for twenty hours a day. Discipline was brutal. In the 20th century Ellen Key wrote “The Century of the child” and it is true that this century has been one which recognised children as children and has seen the most important developments in child care (Beukes & Gannon, 1996).

The stolen generation The stolen generation were children of Australian Aboriginal who were removed from their families by the Australian Federal and government. The removals happened in the period between 1909 and 1969, but the stolen generation is still today a big issue for Australia, and it has resulted in social conflicts over the last years. The social impacts of forced removal have been found to be quite hard, and the issues concern almost every Australian in one way or another. Discrimination has been present since white population began in Australia, and it still exists in certain extent. The removal of Aboriginals children from their parents has been a policy in all states of Australia at different times.
Running head: A CHILDS RIGHTS pg 1 A Childs Rights Sherry Dixon DeVry University Professor Page 09/09/12 A CHILDS RIGHTS pg 2 A Childs Rights There are many children in our foster care system. For most of them, it isn't by choice. Many parents just can't handle the duties that come along with becoming parents. Because of this, the law steps in and decides what is right for the children. This is how we ended up with more than 408, 425 children in the foster care system as of September 2010 according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway.

The pinnacle point of this essay will be to explore children’s experiences of family life and show what it is like for different types of families such as lone parents and step families.
Evidence suggests that in schools the trend seems to suggest the one in six Australian children are bullied weekly, and that 20-50 per cent of children are bullied at some point throughout their school life. (McGrath 2003) Research also suggests that 65 per cent of children, who frequently bully others, are more likely to end up with a criminal record by the time they are 25. Bullies can experience depression and suicidal thinking if the issues are not addressed in school years, and they can also be more prone to act violently in the home or workplace as adults.
