57 kids in seven years: Our shocking child death tollAt least 50 children have been killed since Oranga Tamariki was created – and half of them had a record with the agency before they died. The reality is that the 57 dead children killed by whanau since Oranga Tamariki took over is a perfectly acceptable price to pay for most NZers to underfund our social services! Our underfunded social services that prefer to contract out wrap around services to NGOs are a weeping wound that burns our society but we point blank refuse to fund them properly by taxing the rich! Oranga Tamariki is a Frankenstein monster, a neoliberal welfare experiment conjured up by Bill English and big data. TDB Recommends NewzEngine.com Oranga Tamariki has always been about saving the State money and the welfare of the child is secondary to that!
