Since the police are hiding the truth about sexual crimes against children, someone has to come out and reveal the true story

When the nation’s top cop orders the 2010 Crime Statistics booklet be placed under the banner of Official Secrets Act, berefting the people details on the state of crime affecting women and children, what should the people make of it?

Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO), a non-governmental organisation, had three months ago requested for the information. The police responded saying they were unable to provide the details as the figures were classified as confidential documents.

I’ve had a gutsful!  A few weeks back we had three child abuse cases that hit the headlines in as many days. Babies bashed, shaken, hurt and all at the hands of those who should be caring for them. To me they all sounded the same, just another beaten baby. I found myself looking for a point of difference in the cases so they may make the 6 o’clock news. Only one did. The story of baby Serenity, a six month old Ngaruawahia baby who died from traumatic brain injury.

These laws are modeled after nuisance codes, creating sex offender-free zones like drug-free zones.
