Good news, these women should be applauded and their stories broadcast.

Wow, this is a really inspiring story. I respect Richsea & her Iwi for getting her through this, it must have been really tough.
- Sean P
Well done both of you, a very inspiring story.

Well done Richshea on your recovery. You will improve (and save) the lives of others. All the best.

Inspirational story. Good on the Ngāi Te Rangi iwi social workers.
It would be great if our PM, with all her ambition to end poverty in this country, also rolled up her sleeves and called out the gangs for perpetuating this misery, particularly on vulnerable whānau. The tragic drug and alcohol abuse at a young age mentioned in the article is reflected in truancy which has now reached enormous numbers. Very little words or action to counter truancy seem to come from the PM. She has squandered her opportunity to make a difference.
