Report Reveals Abusive Guardians Block Children from Therapy

A recent report by Backbone Collective has highlighted a troubling issue in New Zealand. It reveals that some abusive parents are blocking their children from receiving therapy and healthcare.

The report outlines how these actions directly impact the well-being and development of affected tamariki. Many New Zealanders would find this behaviour appalling, as it denies children access to necessary support services. The findings raise awareness about the barriers some children face in accessing essential healthcare, particularly when it comes to mental health services. Advocates are calling for more measures to protect children's rights and ensure they receive the care they need.
