The Children's Friend Society was a leading sponsor of the emigration of poor children to the British colonies during the 1830s. While some London parishes supported the Children's Friend Society, as a means of reducing costs to the public purse and giving opportunities to their workhouse children, others objected to what was seen as unjust treatment, separating young people from their families and homeland. The voices of children and parents were increasingly heard in this debate, and in the later investigations by parishes into the fate of young people who had been sent to the Cape of Good Hope and elsewhere
