Oranga Tamariki has always been about saving the State money and the welfare of the child is secondary to that! …you can’t pretend to be shocked that two OT staff were caught abusing vulnerable children in State Care BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT UNDERFUNDED STATE CHILD AGENCIES DO! Watching the Political Right, who would want way more Social Investment, decry the abuse it creates to demand more of that Social Investment is the very definition of sophistry. But don’t pretend abuse of vulnerable children in State Care surprises you, don’t dare. Still complaining about using KFC to cox children off roofs being beaten at fight clubs in state care you fucking morons?
