This week: Children from Homes: 1
Nearly 70,000 children in Britain today, for one reason or another, can'live with their own families, and must live instead in children's homes
At least the day of the grim Dickensian orphanage is finished and nowadays we have reason to be proud of most of our children's homes-they are smaller, better equipped and often run with great kindness. But the real tragedy is that no amount of material comfort can compensate for the feeling of many of them that they have been rejected. And it is the tragic hard core - perhaps a third of the total number - spending anything from six to 16 years in a children's home, who are the most severely damaged
In two programmes Man Alive looks at the problem of children in homes - tonight concentrating on those children still in care, and next week on the young people who leave institutional life for the outside world
