A 14-year-old in New Zealand fled abusive caregivers, leading to a public trial over 35 charges of child abuse.
A 14-year-old girl fled her caregivers in Whangārei, arriving at a friend’s home cold, hungry, and injured, sparking a police investigation that led to a trial on 35 charges against a couple who cared for children through New Zealand’s Oranga Tamariki system.
The girl and another child testified to physical abuse, including being hit, burned, restrained, and denied food, with medical evidence supporting injuries and prior trauma.
Initially closed to protect the children, the trial has since reopened to the public.
The case has drawn national attention, raising concerns about the safety and oversight of children in state care.
