Family defends CYF criticism

Family defends CYF criticism

A west Auckland family is defending its decision to criticise Child Youth and Family on a website.
The website has posted personal information and criticisms of Child Youth and Family staff and is being condemned by Social Development Ministry bosses.
Craig Martin, whose son Patrick died while in CYF care four years ago, says writing on the website is a final attempt to get some kind of closure. He says no one has been held responsible for the death and the website has enabled his family to lay the blame at the feet of those he believes are responsible.
Mr Martin says his family never got a chance to fight for Patrick while he was alive and will continue to fight for justice.
