maori children 8 times more likely to be bashed to death than non-maori…

this shocker of a statistic has just been released…

pacific island rates are three times that of pakeha…

pakeha rates match those in most european countries..

and it is the maori/pi child-death stats that push our national average ‘up-there’…

and child suicide rates for 10-14 yr olds are also climbing..

(..god..!…that’s depressing..!..)
