A group of students in a New South Wales primary school were told by their teacher that their parents weren’t looking after them well enough and they would be removed from their care.
The role-play exercise has been slammed by an expert as “psychological abuse”.
At 9.30am a nun presented a letter to her Year 4 class said to be from the Prime Minister.
It wasn’t until almost 3pm that the students at St Justin’s Catholic Primary School in Oran Park were told it was role play.
The children were asked to write down how the experience – a lesson on the Stolen Generations – had made them feel.

The parents of the students should commence a CLASS ACTION
LAW SUITE against the school!
The same institution that traumatized children with "adult crimes" in
the past, now traumatizes children again, to make some weird point so the
children today can share in their criminal traumatizing of children in times
past.
Their actions were highly detrimental to the children involved, and
they appear to be "GLOATING" over their habitual abuse of
institutional power over the children.
Parents have entrusted their children to people that have again
demonstrated an ignorance towards the welfare of children, and they have again
willingly sacrificed them for political ends. All in the
"pretense" that they've changed their behavior and now on the good
guys side.
The outcome is that they traumatized children again!
I know what I'm talking about. Because I was hunted down by six nuns in a hospital when I fled them, and was murdered by them on the operating
table for my tonsils in the 1960s.
The last thought I had as the gas mask covered my face was: "They've
killed me!" For seven years I never slept because of those monsters
stalking me nightly in my dreams. Later in life I became obsessed with
defending myself. Boxing and Martial Arts became my solace.
The problem is that when you terrorize a child to that extent, and fill them
with fear, the fear eventually turns to an unquenchable rage. Many
years passed before that rage abated in me. But I still have a battle mentality that I struggle with.
TEACHERS?? I THINK NOT! SHAMEFUL!!!! DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR!!!
ABC radio are reporting that it was fully disclosed that it was a role play. I heard the principal say this on ABC radio but also that they are re-evaluating the format in light of the complaint by these families whose children's listening and comprehension skills were not accounted for by the school.
