CYFs Watch

This:
"Teen P addict left to own devices
A teenage drug addict remanded to full-time Child, Youth and Family custody was left to his own devices 12 hours a day because his caregiver didn't want him in her house while she was at work."

Plus this:
"CYF came under fire for its lack of supervision with Christchurch teens in the past few years, with 12 reported to be working as street prostitutes while supposedly in CYF custody."

Plus this:
http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/latest/200706251722/cyf_investigate_how_shooting_accused_left_camp
"Child, Youth and Family is investigating how two boys accused of shooting at police managed to leave its supervised camp they were attending."
are certainly indictments upon a Government agency entrusted with providing 'safer' living alternatives for our children and young persons. There are no mitigating factors for this and 'all in all' is indicative of an organisation N (not)U(under)P(proper)C(care) and C(control).
