flag Yuna and Minu Jo, missing since 2018, were found in suitcases in 2022; New Zealand’s education ministry failed to act despite their prolonged absence.

flag The Papatoetoe South School and New Zealand Ministry of Education expressed shock that the children, Yuna and Minu Jo, were not reported missing by the ministry despite their prolonged absence after returning to New Zealand in 2018. flag Their bodies were not found until 2022 in suitcases bought at an auction. flag Ministry documents revealed systemic failures, including no requirement for schools to report non-enrollment and no referral to police until 2020. flag The ministry has since commissioned an external review, is improving information-sharing with police and Oranga Tamariki, and developing clearer child safety protocols. flag The school plans to honor the children during Matariki, emphasizing the need for stronger inter-agency cooperation to prevent future tragedies.
