Frances Eivers: Children's Commissioner says we can't forget youth involved in ram raids home lives may be chaotic, unstable
Our Children's Commissioner believes there are complex reasons behind youth participation in ram raids.
Of a group of 63, more than 95 percent first came to Police attention through a family harm event.
Judge Frances Eivers says we can’t ignore the fact that for some mokopuna involved in ram raids, their home may be chaotic, unstable, and possibly even dangerous.
She says it's important we focus on a holistic approach where whanau and community, including iwi and Police, work collaboratively to wrap support around these youth who might be more at risk.
