Justice for Moko call to action - SST

3rd May 2016

A facebook page has been established to act as a focal point and a call-to-action for the thousands of New Zealanders angry and frustrated about the death of 3 year old Moko Rangitoheriri.

The Facebook initiative has been developed by the Sensible Sentencing Trust in partnership with Joy MacKenzie of Otorohanga.

SST Founder, Garth McVicar said his phone had run hot all day following the downgrading of the charges, from murder to manslaughter, for the killing of 3 year old toddler Moko Rangitoheriri.

“At this stage the page is solely a meeting place for people who are frustrated and angry about this debacle.”

“While we obviously have a strategy in mind and there will be a call to action and there will be further announcements the initial purpose is simply to harness and accumulate the support.”

Joy MacKenzie said “after reading the articles in the media the last couple of days I am devastated and deeply saddened by the tragedy and feel the need to help in any way I can.”

“I feel the issue of domestic violence in New Zealand is still happening far too often and we need to change that, we need to change the way we deal with the abusers.”

“I want to be part of making that change.”

“It is simply not good enough that someone can take the life of a precious child and not be appropriately brought to justice.” ENDS
