Pakeha kill just as many children as Maori do, despite Maori being the “face of abuse” Raema Merchant (Lecturer EIT; BSW, MSW)
In 2017, at least 45 babies were taken the day they were born, and more than half of the newborns were removed from young Māori mothers Whanau Ora NZ, 26/6/19
Just a reminder for those I note on forums & social media who say ‘Māori should stop abusing their children’. We are hearing that the higher proportion of children/babies uplifted by NZ authorities have been Māori babies, and going by the mainstream media hype it would be difficult not to think that Maori were the top offenders.
Not so.
Raema Merchant’s doctorate research in 2011 revealed what mainstream is generally not telling us. They have in my opinion, much to answer for in this skewing of perception, both currently and historically. EWR

Child Abuse Reporting Biased And Sensationalised
From stuff.co.nz (2011)
Pakeha kill just as many children as Maori do, despite Maori being the “face of abuse” in the media, according to a researcher.
Social work lecturer Raema Merchant said focusing on Maori parents diverts attention away from the fact Pakeha can harm children too.
“I’m not denying it’s a problem for Maori, but if we’re just focusing on Maori we’re ignoring the Pakeha side,” she said.
“It’s almost as though Pakeha are putting their heads in the sand and saying there is no Pakeha child abuse.”
Her master’s thesis at Massey University found about half of the children killed in New Zealand died at the hands of a Pakeha abuser.
Almost 9000 children were victims of physical abuse between 2000 and 2008, yet only 21 became “household names”‘ in the media, she said.
Just one-third of child deaths were reported in the press, and they were predominantly Maori cases.
Merchant urged the public and media to focus on real problems of child abuse, rather than making Maori the “face of abuse”.
“The real danger I have seen from a social worker point of view is that there are a lot of children being abused but as far as the public are concerned they only seem to know about the ones that are Maori.
“Child abuse is a problem for all people, not just for Maori.”
Merchant is already planning her next thesis, which will look at a bigger issue: whether focusing on Maori child abuse victims leads to skewed views by health professionals and the public.
This could lead to a lack of awareness of abuse occurring in Pakeha families, she said.
Merchant found physical child abuse was largely related to poverty, poor housing, inter-generational abuse, poor parenting and drugs and alcohol abuse.
Her research comes after a recent poll revealed half of New Zealanders believe child abuse has an ethnic connection.
Research New Zealand conducted the survey on how New Zealanders view the causes of child abuse, asking respondents to rank the factors they believed most contributed to the problem.
Just over half the 503 people polled said child abuse was a cultural issue, while parental experience and economic factors shared equal status at about a third each.
Child Matters chief executive Anthea Simcock said abuse was not just about one culture.
“Child abuse is right across the spectrum.”
On average, one child is killed every five weeks in New Zealand, and most victims are less than a year old.
MINISTER SAYS PARENTS NEED HELP
Mums and dads would get preferential treatment for drug and mental health problems under a radical plan to address the nation’s shocking child abuse rate.
The government is braced for criticisms of suggested changes to the current system, where state assistance is allocated on individual need rather than whether dependent children are involved.
Mandatory reporting, a re-think of the whanau-first policy when children are removed from their parents’ care, and sharing information despite privacy concerns will also be on the table when the government releases its Green Paper next week on improving children’s lives.
Social Development Minister Paula Bennett launched the review in April, saying she was incensed by the number of child abuse cases and wanted a national debate about how the problem should be tackled.
It will be launched in Auckland on Wednesday and there will be eight months of public consultation before a formal White Paper is released and the Children’s Action Plan is adopted next year.
Bennett said she was aware many of the topics in the Green Paper were controversial, but tough choices were needed to reduce child abuse.
She said she does not agree with some of the recommendations, but wants them discussed.
Barnardos boss Murray Edridge, former All Blacks hooker Norm Hewitt and former Families Commissioner Sandra Alofivae have been appointed to help lead public debate on the issues.
The more contentious topics include a legal requirement for professionals – including doctors, teachers and nurses – to report suspected child abuse cases, and monitoring at-risk children from birth in a national database.
Former Children’s Commissioner John Angus has said there are already enough reports of child abuse, and dealing with the cases properly was preferable to encouraging more reporting.
He said mandatory reporting would swamp Child Youth and Family.
Child abuse expert Patrick Kelly said many health professionals were not qualified enough to detect it.
Bennett said suggestions of greater information sharing between government agencies also extended to other family members and non-governmental organisations.
“We want to see children protected and in a safe environment, to do that we need to share information a lot more readily, and that does mean occasionally we’ll be sharing information on children who are not in danger.
“So is middle New Zealand ready for us to step into that area a bit?”
Putting parents ahead of other Kiwis in line for government services will also attract criticism.
“The example you could use is that mental health services be prioritised to mothers and fathers with small children.
“Does that mean other people wait longer?
“Should they be able to jump the queue because they have young children?”
It could also apply to drug and alcohol treatment, welfare, education and the rest of the health sector. Services are currently allocated based on need.
Bennett acknowledged that many people, particularly the elderly, would be put out by that.
“I get daily correspondence [from people] who are appalled and disgusted at those beautiful faces that they see, unfortunately week after week, who have been severely damaged or even killed at the hands of people who should be loving them.
“I suppose I’m saying to those people; what are you willing to give up for me to spend more resources on those very families?”
Three questions asked by the Green Paper: What priority should government give to the families and whanau of those caring for children when allocating services that impact on the children they are caring for? What services do you think should be included in this policy? When should adults who care for children be prioritised for services over others?

Department of Conservation reports of a rat explosion in the Northern Ruahine Ranges defy credibility and show the department was “out of its depth” in wilderness management according to a sporting hunters’ organisation.
Laurie Collins spokesman for the Sporting Hunters Conservation Outdoor Trust (SCHOT) said research had shown that following aerial drops of 1080 poison, the 20 percent surviving rats with much reduced food competition exploded in numbers. He cited Ruscoe’s research in 2008 “Interaction of Mammalian Pest Populations following Control” that showed rats recover quickly and increase quickly so within 18 months rat numbers would be two to three times greater than before poisoning operations.

Now this will challenge your thinking. So she stirs & is clearly alive so the surgeons decide to give her a strong sedative intent on the removal of her organs. Just shows how far we’ve slid into the new ‘norm’. As the presenter of this info questions, do dead people need sedatives? And it was not their decision to make. As it turns out the woman is saved. This is highlighting the huge dollar value of the organ trade. In my personal opinion it is all disgusting and beggars belief.

Of the hundreds of billions spent on defense spending, what is the US government defending us against? More correctly, shouldn’t it be called offensive spending, since that’s what our military does—invades other countries? From Jacob G. Hornberger at ronpaulinstitute.org:
Washington Post columnist Robert Samuelson is worried. He thinks that maybe — just maybe — the US government is not spending enough on defense. In a column entitled, “Here’s Why We Could Be Under-Spending on Defense,” Samuelson has come up with a complicated formula that has caused him to fear that China and Russia might actually be spending more money on their militaries than the United States. Bringing to mind the famous missile-gap controversy during the Cold War, Samuelson wrote, “Our reputed military superiority might be exaggerated or a statistical fiction.”
I won’t delve into Samuelson’s complicated formula for arriving at his scary conclusion because, well, it is complicated…

Documents released underFreedom of Information Act requestshave shown that collectively South Wales Police and London’s Metropolitan Police have spent millions of pounds on trials of the technology, despite the fact that both systems have been shown to have an error rate over 90 per cent.
Similar trials around the world have raised concerns around the technology, including in San Francisco where privacy advocates arecalling for a banon the use of FR by law enforcement.

Lakeland farmers have been told they no longer own the water after rainfall hits the ground on their properties.
Desperate for irrigation water to keep their banana crops alive the State Government delivered a mortal blow preventing farmers from building any more dams over 50 megalitres capacity without applying for an expensive licence.
Mareeba-based Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy officer Patrick Huber broke the devastating news at a meeting of Lakeland farmers recently.
Mr Huber stressed that water caught in domestic rainwater tanks was safe from government hands but any other water belonged to the State.
Releasing the Draft Water Plan for Cape York Peninsula he said overland flow had to be protected and the department would soon require land owners with existing dams, large or small, to supply dam measurements and capacities to the department.
Within 12 months of receiving the information the DNR would then issue a licence for the water and install meters on all private dams to get an idea of water usage.

And ‘long’ it has been. What the Herald failed to mention is that her Doctor suspected 1080 poisoning which is why he asked for her heart to be tested. Please read our earlier article on this … the Doctor was in effect stone walled which confirms Dr Baycroft’s information (see below).
Have you ever heard of a lab losing a human heart before?
This is horrible beyond imagination for this family. And it sounds extremely suspicious doesn’t it? This family was paid absolutely no respect in this. Not by the authorities anyway. Remember what retired Doctor Charles Baycroft has told us recently… ‘if you die from 1080 poisoning nobody will know’ because Doctors he said are not allowed to look for it, and they are bullied into not testing. Word has it that the leaves in the area where Whitney walked that day were smeared with 1080 gel, a highly concentrated application.
The NZ authorities do not practice the precautionary principle with the spreading of 1080 poison people. In fact they are now legally allowed to drop it into your waterways without the previously required consents, even though the manufacturer’s warning says take care not to drop it into the waterways. Whilst they continue to claim it is harmless, there is much independent research that says otherwise. (See 1080science for further independent info). In light of that, in my opinion it is safer to follow the precautionary principle, that is, proceed as if there were a possible risk to your health rather than assume there is none. EWR
