Hei Whakamutunga
The stories of the applicants and respondents recorded in the case profiles provide rich descriptions of their experiences. The strong emotions that accompanied the telling - the tears, the pain, and in some cases, the anger - may not be visible to the reader. At the centre of each story are those whose voices are not heard in this report - the tamariki mokopuna. The stories and the tears of the children have not been gathered, no reira he mihi tino nui ki a koutou tamariki ma. Tangi ana te ngakau i te aroha.
