NZ child abuse - solely a Maori issue?

By Hone

You fellas want our land now you want our babies...I hate you people!

By Barry Johnstone.

All humans abuse children occasionally. To say that it is a "Maori" issue is totally inadequate, shallow and stupid thinking!

By Ian

Yes, the numbers/stats state the bald unpalatable truth, that Maori's are by far the most prolific child bashers-baby killers in New Zealand society.
It would be really good to see Pita Sharples and his party take ownership of this, instead of blaming others. But that wont happen will it?

Yeah I have a disfunctional family. The kids rule the roost. Sometimes I get that Bain feeling and want to knock them all off. Bloody Aunty Helen, the queen, she had no idea what it is like as she did not want kids of her own.

Since the anti smacking law came in, our children no matter what culture, they have gotten right out of hand. As a parent we should be able to decipline our children in an appropriate way. But some parents go too far and that becomes abuse, which I don't agree to. What I'm getting at is, the youth of today can practically run your house and treat you like crap and if you discipline them in the right manner, they can have you up for child abuse, and alot of our youth of today abuse that and use it against parents. That's why alot of our youth are having children at a very young age and don't know how to cope with raising their siblings and it gets a bit too much for them and this is the outcome, why? Parents have been stripped of their rights as a parent to discipline their children in an appropriate manner. Therefore the Parliment who make the laws have done alot of damage to alot of families, therefore alot of crime is happening mainly from undisciplined children and youth.

sodium fluoride in the water supply is the cause.Its used in
rat poison & prozac
Mass Litigation might stop it.Problem is the sheep are too
dummbed down & docile to do anything about it.

Absolutely not. That's just a cop-out, and a weak one at that. Why is CYFS time and again handing children back to at-risk families, they knew about the situation, why was the baby left in danger, and where was the mother? NZ has gone PC mad, and so much for Bradford's anti-smacking law. Tragic stuff, again.
