What is it that motivates people to do this? What happens in their lives that leaves them feeling that this is the solution to their problem? I just can't connect with the attitude one needs to be doing this to others, let alone to one of your own! I rejected a comment on this today. Anonymous said they were "pigz." They aren't though, are they. They are your family, your neighbours, your friends. Something though, is terribly wrong. They need help, they need support, they need to be raised in such a way, that these abuses never occur in the first place.

Read this and wonder what is going on? Who's society is this? Who raised these people to be parents? How come the total lack of care for our children? When will something be done to make life easier, more pleasurable and more productive for the family unit? Has good parenting gone forever? Must we ALL be at work ALL the time? What space is there for family in our nation? Be careful, its on the way out!

Nia Glassie died this afternoon, at 4.12pm, at Starship children's hospital in Auckland.
She had spent most of this week on a ventilator in a coma, after allegedly suffering months of horrific abuse.
Rotorua coroner Wallace Bain revealed that Nia had died.
Police said there would be a post mortem examination of Nia's body in Auckland tomorrow.
Here is the story. What more can one say?

So. Oriwa Kemp, Michael Curtis, William Curtis, and Michael Pearson are in fear of their lives after they were accused of putting Nia Glassie (3 years old) in hospital with severe head and abdominal injuries. It seems that Nia will suffer brain damage and Lord knows what else. They it seems, did not hold Nia's life in such regard. There is also Nia's mother's partner Wiremu Curtis, who is out on bail. I think that they have given up their right to safety from the wolves who would feed on them like the carrion that they are. I do not condone capital punishment but neither do I feel compassion for their fear. Taste some of what you did to Nia.

there are some people who are unfortunately living on this world who have no business being here. they torture, kill, maim rob and rape. whoever did this is definitely one (or two) of them. being an insensitive teen does not excuse this behaviour. if they are adults they too should be put down. if you know, do something about it. its a shame we don't have punishment that fits the crime.

what? 'p' to make their dogs more aggressive. dogs don't need that kind of abuse to be aggressive. your common garden variety abuse will do the trick. just beat them and under feed them. any cro magnum knows that. as for the idiots who might want to expose the rest of us to their over emphasised machismo, perhaps it is they who should be bent over a barrel and left to the tender mercies of the monsters they create. it is not the dog that should be licensed, its the owner.

it's happening, and it seems that our (the people) permission is not required (until voting day). first we have had mp's trying to tell us how we raise our children. the fact that 80% of kiwis do not agree means nothing. now we have govt departments putting spyware on our doctors computer systems to gain information without our permission. never mind doctor/patient confidentiality. i can (just) live with the cameras around trouble spots to help with crime, but it is now going way overboard. i guess we'll have to wait until the elections to make our opinions known. they (the govt) won't pay any attention until then.

a young woman might have been raped 10 years ago at a christmas party. this was released by "investigate" magazine. it seems to have happened at a barrister's office party and a policeman stands accused. lawyers and policeman. an untrustworthy mix it seems. i wonder how this one will go? check it out here.

she should have been safely tucked up in bed. she was however, walking alone, through a hastings primary school between 11pm and 2am. she knew about keeping herself safe. she is twelve years old.
the girl told police she was raped as she walked through the grounds of ebbett park primary school. she she had attended a display of krumping, a high-energy dance style to loud music, which has gained popularity among hastings teens. groups gather to watch each other compete.
the girl said she was attacked by a young maori man, probably a teenager, wearing a white "krumping" shirt with a blue and black paint design and jeans. he had shaggy hair with a shoulder-length "rat's tail". the attack happened between 11pm and 2am. constable lisa tod said the girl managed to run away and some youths found her in a distressed state and called police.
the girl was injured in the attack and had received medical attention. she was traumatised and was recovering with her family. police were concerned that children and young teenagers in town for the dance competitions were usually unsupervised by adults.

the question is, do you know where your children are?
