Rodney Hide says ‘NO’ to Anti-smacking law and Child Abuse
Youth Against Child Abuse NZ is pleased to announce the second in their series of videos addressing issues surrounding child abuse in New Zealand as we seek to gather ideas to tackle child abuse.
“Rodney Hide of the ACT party features in our second interview and emphatically says NO to both Child abuse and the anti-smacking law” said Simeon Brown of Youth Against Child Abuse.
“Rodney Hide also reaffirms
the message that YACA has been pushing over the past few
weeks that criminlising smacking is not going to stop child
abuse,”
continued Mr Brown. “He calls on all New
Zealanders to vote No in the referendum while offering some
solutions to our terrible rate of child abuse”.
The video can be viewed on the group’s website, www.yaca.org.nz.
The board of YACA NZ trusts that this video series will help raise awareness to the real issues of child abuse in New Zealand and also present proven, workable solutions to actually solving the problem.
