Justice is still alive in New Zealand

What a waste of tax payers money!

Spoilt little rich kid is able to get a counsel for child appointed to present her case and has removed herself from her mother's care into the guardianship of the Family Court..

All because she wanted to live with her sister who is in her early 20s and will allow her free reign.

The mother said "She is not a bad daughter, she is not in trouble with the law, she is not in trouble at the school, she is just a normal teenager" and "is appointing someone to be her legal guardian who will let her do what she wants... unlike a mother, over normal issues like being home at 11pm".

What arrant nonsense..

New Zealand does face some serious issues with child safety and abuse but for the family court to allow itself to be dragged into what is basically a teen age tanty is ludicrous..

Why couldn't the judge simply tell the little brat that she was being stupid and too go home and enjoy her life... at least she has a life!!!!

I speak even less highly for the private school and their counsellor who supported this poor little rich kid!

Mind you the New Zealand education system is itself in tatters with the New Zealand Qualification Authority now allowing "text speak" to be used in exminations. Utter bullshit and just another indicator that the entire New Zealand Education system is failing miserably.
