‘Early intervention,’ says Labour's Jacinda Ardern, ‘is where resourcing is most
needed’ for the rebuild of Child Youth and F. amily (Vulnerable kids to stay
in state's embrace longer, April 8). The early intervention that’s really
needed is earlier than any mentioned in these ‘radical plans’.
Government needs
to intervene to end the unequal distribution of wealth, which places so many
families under stress. For those who feel unable to afford the child they
discover is on the way, this may result in an abortion.
Whatever the reasons, such a decision is the ultimate in child abuse, and
until we address the causes of abortion, including the real reason for poverty,
born as well as unborn children will continue to die and our nation will
continue to grieve.
But I suppose the high-powered panel leading the restructure would say that
addressing the perennial problem of human greed and its consequences is outside
their brief.
