“…Mäki et al (2003), reporting on the sequelae of infant-parent separations of 7 months on average, concluded that even after this relatively short parting, the separated children became adults who showed higher rates of criminal behavior than did control groups matched on sex, year, and place of birth. Another topic of inquiry concerns the negative social and emotional consequences of separating indigenous children from their parents as part of a mental hygiene movement for aboriginal children in Australia (e.g., Mushin et al, 2003) and First Nations children in Canada (e.g., Milloy, 1999).…”

“…(2003), in their reports on short separations between infants and parents during a tuberculosis epidemic, concluded that the separated children showed reduced prosocial behavior. Negative social and emotional outcomes have also been documented for aboriginal children who were separated from their parents as part of a “mental hygiene” movement in Australia and in Canada in the early‐ to mid‐1900s (Milloy, 1999; Mushin et al., 2003). Children separated from their parents during the process of immigration have been shown to be more prone to depression, lowered self‐esteem, and behavioral problems (Brown, Harris, & Bifulco, 1986; Smith et al., 2004; Suarez‐Orozco & Suarez‐Orozco, 2001).…”
