Responding to the most recent high profile child abuse case, the Minister for Social Development and Employment, Paula Bennett says she will "... do anything in her power to protect children." We must take her at her word. I do not doubt her sincerity.
Why does child abuse and neglect occur? Because the child is 'wanted' at one level, but not at another.
Sometimes they are wanted for the benefits that dependent children bring; priority for housing, extra income, and parental amnesty from being self-supporting.
They are not wanted in the usual sense; loved more than can be expressed or explained. The way children should be loved by their parents and grandparents. FULL STORY
I left a comment there (because NZ is quite a communist country)-
As Margaret Thatcher said - "Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money."UPDATE- I see they removed my comment. I don't think they liked it very much.
"If government could create jobs and raise children, socialism would have worked." -Gerald Gilder
And as Vladimir Lenin said "Destroy the family, you destroy the country."
