SAD

Yet another tiny life is in danger thanks to a beating & torture handed out by abusive parents & caregivers. In this instance 5 people have been charged, Five people ! Not one of them in the close family or friends spoke up for the tiny victim. Instead they joined in.

It is a fact in New Zealand that Maori families represent a significant proportion of all child abuse cases. Yet death after horrible death noone from that community stands up & says we have a problem. What they do is stand up & say don't blame us, don't just point the finger at Maori.

I am sorry but it is YOUR problem, if it was a Treaty issue or a Sea bed & foreshore issue we would not be able to shut the collected Iwi up. Yet when it comes to their own children & their safety there is deafening silence. Shame on all of you.
