A Mother Finds Her Lost Child After a 40-year search

2021

This is the moving story of Nanncy Davis Womac whose daughter finally found her 40 years after mom and baby were forcibly separated and the baby adopted.

There's a larger story in the video of an evangelical pastor setting up homes for 'troubled' teenagers.

Lester Roloff (1914-1982) is written of positively in Wikipedia, but there were complaints from some that he was running a 'private prison', brainwashing and brutalising girls.

In 1973 Roloff signed an agreement with the State of Texas that he would stop handcuffing girls - which he did to prevent them running away.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
