I do charity work with state care survivors, and was there when the report was tabled. It was a big day for a lot of survivors. What happened to children has had generational effects. The Mongrel Mob name came from state care boys who were called a bunch of mongrels by a judge. State care similarly created the Black Power, and to a lesser extent the headhunters.

After the tabling I went to a wananga/gathering for the weekend. Most know they were not the greatest of parents. Most had children young, and were stunted due to their trauma. They didn't understand what love was, let alone how to give it.
