New Zealand is experiencing a crime wave like never before.
It’s easy to hate the criminal, especially when you are a victim of crime. It’s easy to want some harsh consequences enforced on youth who seem to have no consequences for their crime, let alone any remorse towards their victims.
Many of these criminals have experienced so much trauma in their vulnerable early years, that they simply do not have the tools to change. Often their family is broken and abusive, so they turn to the likes of gangs who accept them for who they are, and welcome them into the gang family.
Until the government starts investing in the root causes, such as broken families, fatherlessness, generational cycles of all sorts of abuse, the crime wave will only become worse.
The following TikTok powerfully explains the story of far too many broken people throughout New Zealand who are suffering with mental health issues, and highlights the need to invest at the beginning , where it truly matters…. the family unit.
