Ngatikaura on 60 minutes

Did anyone else watch this>? I have never felt so violently ill in my life after watching this horrible horrible story. am wishing I hadn't. I remember reading that the adoptive mum (i.e "real" mum) yelled at the bio mum, "go and hang yourself" and I thought it was a bit much....not anymore.

Those sorts of people should be sterilised so they can't have anymore children. I mean, honestly, if you can't handle your kids, stop having them! Those two deserve a lot more than 8 1/2 years, the mongrels. I bawled my eyes out when the adoptive mum was crying, the poor lady did her damnedist to bring up the child for 3 years, to have this b***h get him back and kill him.

And to think that poor wee boy's last days were excruciating and terrifying. Mongrels.

I also chose not to watch it after seeing the news story. I think some ADULTS deserve to be beaten to death with baseball bats, and that couple are at the front of the queque.

I just can't believe there are people like that out there. I decided not to watch as I don't think I could handle it at the mo. in my preggy overemotional state and the news snippets were more than enough to make me just aaaaargh
It's just pure evil to do that to any other living thing let alone a defenseless little chuld - YOUR OWN defenseless baby!!!
I agree 8 years is nowhere near enough punishment.

i watched about half i think - i missed the beginning...but other than the fact that what they did to the poor confused defenceless child i was also angry at the society that condones these kind of informal adoptions giving the "adopted mother" no rights and i was also sad about the fact that the adopted mother didnt even have the decency to tell her "son" the truth. she told him he was going to the dairy for lollies with his aunty and he had no idea...this would have really confused the poor kid and i know this would certainly have contributed to him going backwards in his toileting...the whole thing was wrong.
and now a little boy is dead... at least tho they couldnt use section 59 as a defence

I cried at the news story and near to tears reading everyones comments just now. I wished I could of taken that child and gave him a huge hug and never took him back there. I chose not to watch 60 mins as the news story had me crying and I couldn't handle it.

Its so wrong.

I didn't watch it as it would have haunted me for weeks. But I noticed on stuff today that a 16 year old got a minimum parole period of 14 years for killing a 72 year old as it was so brutal.

So why the heck did these monsters only get a minimum parole period of 4 and a half years. Surely the brutal beating to death of a helpless three year old warrants more!!

NZ JUSTICE SUCKS!

its because they were not charged with murder but manslaughter...!!!!

Sadly this type of thing wont be prevented by getting rid of section 59 either.

I was talking to hubby about this. when my 2 year old is upset, who does he run to? me and his dad. so when the parents are the ones doing the hurting, where the hell does a kid run to? and surely that makes this kinda crime the worst in humanity - and therefore consitutues a much more sever punishment than 8 years!
