- Chris Kahui does deserve to be in prison though. Or do you have some other plausible theory for how those injuries happened?
- Unless you are privy to all the details of the case, from what was published – there does not seem to be enough evidence to make that decisive judgement call.One of my relatives worked in the ICU at that time, and it had been noted by staff that the (somewhat regular) lack of bonding with the mother had occurred, and that substantial at home visits and supports would be necessary to address this. This did not occur after discharge.It is by no means uncommon for parents of very premature births to have a resistance to forming bonds with their child. The children are often physically different from expectations of a healthy birth – very skinny, with loose and hairy skin, and it is a form of unconscious mental self-preservation to not invest emotionally if outcomes are uncertain.Whether Chris Kahui was responsible for the injuries or not, seemed hard to define given the conflicting evidence that I can recall.What is true however, is that a vulnerability was identified and a strategy defined which was not followed up on.This is tragedy was indicative of a support system failure as well.
- You could well be right, Tim. However, the discredited National Party hitman Cameron Slater is not fit to comment on him or anyone else.The point of my post was not to defend Chris Kahui, but to show the hypocrisy of the ignorant and bloody-minded lynch-mob that were denouncing him on the right wing blogs. It’s perhaps no surprise to learn that the most foul-mouthed, crudest commenter of all on that particular thread was the disgraced ex-ACT felon David Garrett….
- I enjoyed your post (as usual) and I’m glad you let those guys know how it is. It just prompted me to think about the case again and left me with a sense of anger – probably at the family as well as Macsyna and Chris, for the way in which all seemed complicit in preventing the truth coming to light at the time… Or at least that is what the media has it seem like.
