1. Historical trauma, with inter-generational effects 
2. Resulted in several social issues. 
Once in the foster care system, these children would rarely stay with one family alone, and would be shipped around from family to family, which is leaves one with no feeling of belonging, which is so integral to a child's upbringing. These children felt as though they didn't belong anywhere. Not on traditional land with their families, or with a foster family.
 - Lead to a loss of traditional culture, teachings and the estrangement of families.
 - Several children have not been able to connect with their families, and occasionally discover that their parents are deceased upon locating them. 
- Aboriginal children never learned how to function in a family and in turn, how to parent children.
 -Substance abuse problems, mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, 
- Loss of childhood, tradition and security.
