This Little Boy Cont.. Glandore Family Home.



This Little Boy and other Boys use to play in the backyard a lot. 
He recalls going down to the tramline station ( Underground subway walkway ) and playing. 

For some reason he recalls going across the road to Windana Boys home and sitting in some sort of class room situation. 
A very scary man use to make us all sit in a room, absolutely very still without making any noise. 
Then the man would walk out the room and peep through the Window crack in the door.

The Little Boy recalls then the man would come in grab a boy and say he was making to much noise and then take him out the room with him. 
He recalls being absolutely shit scared. They use to give us little bottles of milk as we'll.

Aunty Margaret and her Daughter were the fondest memory's The Little Boy Recalls.
Sitting at the Kitchen Table, Aunty Margaret's daughter helping him with his homework.

Whilst The Little Boy was staying at Glandore Family Home, he recalls being involved in the making of a SA documentary / Movie  “ WHO KILLED JENNY LANGLEY?" About a Woman he vaguely recalls, a single Woman who had Three children and her children had to go into Government Care. The Little Boy was one of her children.

Later on in This Little Boys Life, he went to the South Australian Film corp and viewed the short film.
When he viewed the Movie, it didn't really bring back any memory's apart from the House. He remembered the House, and how homely it was.

When This Little Boy was in his Forties, The South Australian Government had a COMMISSION OF INQUIRY into CHILDREN IN STATE CARE.

This Little Boy was Interviewed , regarding his Journey whilst being at Glandore Family Home and visiting Windana across the road. 
Whilst the Little Boy did seem to have good memories of Glandore, Aunty Margaret etc, he certainly recalls the funny behaviour that was happening across the road at Windana. 
Even playing in the Courtyard at Windana The Little Boy Recalls.

While This Little Boy stayed at Glandore, going to different Families on Holiday periods was something he remembered , playing with Kids having fun and just being a child.

What were The Little Boys Memory's of his Foster Homes.
