There has to be a beginning and end to this. Yes, the children deserve privacy, 100% like any other kid in Oranga Tamariki care. Frankly I am hopeful of never hearing or seeing anything of them ever again, God willing. 

 

But given the huge amount of resources and the risk to the public from the (alleged) armed offending, I think the realities of who has been assisting/sheltering and allowing them to evade capture for the last few years is something that should not be just swept aside.

 

 

The question of assistance/sheltering and shortfalls etc needs to be addressed by the various authorities but not in the public domain or the court of public opinion. Healing started yesterday and continued public debate and exposure with do continuing harm to the family and damage the chances of good outcomes.

 

 If we’re expected to pay for the addressing, I don’t think it remotely appropriate that we’re simply left in the dark.
