Children’s Commissioner Russell Wills might be interested in three small
Pakeha/Indian children taken by CYF from married parents because the
elderly father had an historical conviction for sex abuse, and following a
disastrous triple pregnancy when she lost two children in utero, the mother was
very unwell.
Those children were handed over to a single parent, a Maori. Two years on,
the parents are still fighting to get their children back. They struggle to
contain their grief over their lost little ones, who present at their pitifully
infrequent access visits as hungry, inadequately dressed, and uncared for.
I wonder if CYF would dare to place Maori children of loving, married
parents in the care of a single, Indian mother. The whole saga reeks of
prejudice and discrimination based on both age and race.
