Heritage key to Donna's future in custody case
In Melbourne a custody battle over 23 month old Donna Charles centers on her Aboriginal heritage and appearance. Fay Charles seeks return of Donna to her care, while Kenneth and Blanche Bausch press for guardianship. Donna has lived with the Bauschs for 12 months amid claims of neglect. Donna’s biological father, Anthony Bono, is jailed for false pretences and larceny. The court heard that some part Aboriginal adoptions by white families end in failure as children seek Aboriginal ties.
