A wealthy lady’s view of children in care in the 1960s- “I had always imagined they were horrid, vicious young hooligans who set fire to their own homes, strangled their baby sisters or attempted to murder their parents and that was why they had landed where they were and richly deserved it. It was quite an eye-opener, therefore, when I gradually began to piece together the tragic histories of some of the children who were put into care through no fault of their own.” She became a benefactor.
