An organisation representing Aboriginal grandmothers claims the high number of Aboriginal children in out-of-home-care is creating a new Stolen Generation.
The Organisation, Grandmothers Against Removals, is demanding an investigation into the New South Wales Department of Community Services.
The group, from the town of Gunnedah, says children are taken from Aboriginal families by the Department under the guise of protection.

The group's spokeswoman, Aunty Hazel, told Marina Freri, New South Wales has the highest rates of Aboriginal child removal in the country.
