Jesus weeps
From the NZ Herald:
For the seven days before Duwayne Pailegutu died, he was kept inside his mother and stepfather’s small flat in Nelson – so no one could see he had been beaten so badly he was paralysed, incontinent, and slowly suffocating on his own blood.
The left side of his body was disabled after repeated blows to the right side of his head which caused a stroke, and he struggled to eat or drink.
In addition to the haemorrhage, an autopsy found at least 10 deep bruises to his scalp – some of them inflicted by the shoes of his stepfather as the little boy cowered in the corner of his Fergusson St bedroom.
A further 75 bruises were found over the rest of his small body. …
For the week before he died,Duwayne sat, partially paralysed and fitted with nappies, slowly suffocating on blood which he inhaled into his lungs as he vomited during “exercises” in which his stepfather made repeated blows to his stomach to make him cough up blood.
In an attempt to “shock” Duwayne into movement, Joachim dipped his paralysed foot into boiling water, leaving the largest of four scald wounds on his right leg.
When he became frustrated that Duwayne could not move, Joachim threw him against a wall.
And for the six weeks before his death on July 2 last year, Duwayne had been living with three broken ribs.
Words again fail me, that I share a species with the person who did this.

The anti-smacking law will fix such abuse.
Oh hang on, it hasn’t.
Only idiots confuse a symptom with a cause and think that treating the former will eliminate the latter.

I wonder where all the anti death penalty Greens are this morning?
May 16th, 2009 at 11:34 am
Quick Bradford, pass another fucking law.
When you don’t enforce laws they are not laws and all the paperwork in the world is meaningless. Just like Bradford the rest of teh greenies and the other fools who mistake nice ideas with for being good one.
Mwanwhile the road to hell is paved with green party legislation.

Maybe it shows the devil exists
Or maybe it shows that Richard Dawkins assertion that non biological “parents” are genetically pre-disposed to eliminate their “offspring” to favor their own biological ones whether born, or potential has some merit.
Possibly both.
May 16th, 2009 at 11:42 am
I wonder what “stepfather” is a euphemism for.
May 16th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Andrei thats bloody sick even to suggest that.
Until the Govt focusses its attention from criminalising good parenting to actually having a zero tolerance approach to this butchery nothing will improve.
There is no place in society for a person like this who over a long period of time confers this abuse onto a defenceless child.
I see a father in ChCh is going to court this week for being seen to give his son a wack on the ear.
May 16th, 2009 at 11:44 am

“Joachim”
Yeah right.

May 16th, 2009 at 11:53 am
The first warning is the bizare names that these kids always seem to get landed with. Very low proportion of Mikes, Johns and Sallys seem to end up in these stories.
Could there be a connection of some kind?
May 16th, 2009 at 11:58 am
I see that the sad cow who gave birth to the poor child only got a measley 3 years and is going to appeal it. If she had a single brain, she’d have “taken the money and run”. This “weak woman syndrome” defence makes my blood boil.
May 16th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
If capital punishment can ever be justified, this is the case.
RIP Duwayne
May 16th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
That really is sad.
May 16th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Jesus did not weep over this, jesus doesn’t give a fuck about this.
If ever there was a proof god does not exist, cases like this are it.
andrei is right when he says “Or maybe it shows that Richard Dawkins assertion that non biological “parents” are genetically pre-disposed to eliminate their “offspring” to favor their own biological ones whether born, or potential has some merit. ”
There is a biological aspect, there is a biological impulse in the male to kill the offspring of other males. Civilisation overcomes this in most, but not all cases. Recent research in to the shape and size of the human penis (far larger than other primates) is that the head is designed so it can scoop out the semen left by a previous male.
May 16th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Heartbreaking. There’s heaps of shit that would make Jesus weep, whenever I hear of distressing situations in NZ I’m reminded of this speech by Rodney Hide;
There is a guy in New Zealand, he lived on the Kapiti coast. Ian Lee Mutton was his name. He was a good guy. Father, husband, two little kiddies, and he was a good sportsman, and he worked and he liked a wee drink and having fun. And his business was, and he worked hard at it, was putting in air conditioning units in new office towers. And he had a dream, he dreamt that rather than working for other people he could go out into business on his own. And he did that. And he was good at the work, but he was a lousy businessman. He quoted too low, some of his people didn’t pay, and the costs got out of control. But he persevered and he learnt. He got to the end of one year 1992, and he owed $6,000 terminal tax.
No big deal, knew he owed it, was going to pay it. He then had an accident off a ladder at work and broke his ankle and couldn’t work. He had been assessed for this tax, and the demands kept coming. His ACC, such as it is for self-employed didn’t come, even though he had been paying it all these years. So he and his family were suffering no end. Here he was hobbling around on crutches. He went repeatedly to the IRD with his wife saying, “Look, I can’t pay this”. They wouldn’t listen to him. He had to pay, they’re the rules. He says, “I’m not working”, doesn’t matter.
He gets back to work, someone smashes his utility up and he has to spend more money so he can keep working. He pays his tax that year, he pays his tax the next year, he pays in his next year more tax than he has ever paid in his life as a percentage. And he gets to the end of that year, and he owes more than he did at the start. Because the penalties and the interest are just overwhelming him. His accountant and his business manager go in to see the IRD begging them to give this guy some relief. He’s working hard, here’s all his accounts, give him some relief. They wouldn’t.
His marriage split up, his wife couldn’t take the pressure. He was behaving strangely, the pressure was huge on him. That bills were just being generated by that horrible computer that the IRD has and they would be arriving at his house in envelopes and in the finish, he couldn’t even open them, he just threw them in the bin. In his final year, he went on booze a bit. He didn’t pay any tax, so it mounted, and the debt got to $45,000. He then snapped out of it, he stopped the drinking, he got back with his wife, he realised that he had to make his business go bankrupt, stop his dreams, stop his aspirations. And he got a job working in Queenstown, putting in air conditioning units working for someone else. All he had in the world at that point was a utility worth $5,000 and $1,100 worth of tools.
On the day that he was to leave to Queenstown to take up his new job, the IRD turned up. They wanted the ute, and the tools, to offset the debt. They were going to take the very means that he had to make a living. He drove the utility up to the Otaki Gorge and killed himself. He penned before he died a message to the IRD, saying that “you are responsible for this, that you have taken everything that I ever had, that I now leave this world like I came into it, with nothing, but that I beat you, because you no longer going to get any more out of me,” and he signed, the last thing he did on earth, was to sign
that note, “one happy man”.
The IRD got that note, they turned up at the widow’s house wanting the ute and the tools. She then, ladies and gentlemen, goes outside and stands on the porch and sees her twelve-year-old son hanging dead from the tree. He couldn’t take his father’s death. The IRD have never apologised, never said they have done wrong.
Also a recent issue that’s been on the news: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlE1sJnKwgE

Who in politics is actually getting to the real heart of this matter, which is the fact that almost every one of us could build up a list of risk factors.
There seems to be no recognition of the simple fact that these events are preventable merely by changing our politically correct orientation.
Directing all the relevant state agencies to proactively cooperate and share all relevant information is the first part of the answer. The second part is to direct all relevant state agencies to assume the worst case scenario in any family unit that has been identified. The third part is to require, not permit but require, all relevant state agencies to intervene with the most vigorous and proactive possible response and with the utmost alacrity. The fourth part of the answer is to silence or ignore the hand-wringing fuckheads that munt and moan about how tewwible parts 1-3 are. You could do this by painting them as supporting violence against children in exactly the same way that they themselves have painted the critics of anti-smacking. The fifth and most critical part of the answer is to make all the line managers of all relevant agencies directly accountable such that if a single case like this surfaces in future, every one of them will be summarily dismissed, immediately and without redundancy compensation. The sixth part is amending/enacting relevant legislation to facilitate parts 1-5 because if this continues to be treated as a mere operational matter without statutory authority and obligation, it’s quite clear that it will continue to happen.
We all know the risk factors as I said. In other words, the answer is clear and present. Preventing this is therefore a matter of political will, nothing more.
May 16th, 2009 at 12:37 pm

May 16th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Once again billy demonstrates appalling ignorance but massive faith in his position. Honestly billy, if you haven’t yet worked out by now the answer to the question: if God exists why does He permit evil; then you’re a complete moron. However I do admire the massive faith you display by standing so firmly inside your atheistic position, which is a position of faith, despite the fact that you try to pretend it’s reached through logic and knowledge. Perhaps you even really believe that line, which makes you even thicker than a moron, perhaps a mentally handicapped village idiot would be a more appropriate adjective for you.
My apologies to others for the off-topic reply on this thread, I only did it here so that billy would read it. Billy if you wish to respond then I suggest we take it to the General thread.

The anti-smacking law will fix such abuse. i don’t think anyone said that
However The New Zeal Parliament (by an overwhelming majority) ,The NZ Society of Pediatricians and various groups working with Kid(Barnadoes as an example) all agree with the repeal of section 52
You were allowed to hit your kid but not your dog . Noone can seriously think that was a good state of affairs
So what do we do to ensure the tragedy of Duwayne Pailegutu is not repeated ?
I am pretty sure that capital punishment or locking up and throwing away the key is not the answer
We have to have a good idea of why parents behave like this and use this knowledge to try and ensure it doesn’t happen again.
So any positive ideas out there ?

In fact, these events are down to the degeneration of society that has occurred because of the ideas disseminated by amoral narcissistic left liberals like you, Borker and Rebel Heart (groan, what a truly dipshit name).

Cutting off unlimited welfare might me a good start. If these pricks had to do a days work they might not have the energy to kill thier kids. The argument that if we don’t pay welfare these ferals will commit crime instead doesn’t wear with me. In Asia there is no welfare and I feel a lot safer walking in Bangkok than I do in South Auckland (yes Mellissa is right). Besides any useless prick that is too fucking lazy to get a job but has the energy to burgle my house better hope I don’t find out who they are. They won’t be doing anything ever again.
May 16th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
That’s a very interesting title Mr Farrar, do you believe in God?
[DPF: Depends if he believes in me. The title is a reference to the fact Jesus was reported to not be moved to tears by even sick dying babies - he just gave them comfort. So the subtle point I was making is that this is so sick, it would make even Jesus cry]
May 16th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
As I said above the risk factors for this issue are perfectly plain and it’s not welfare because not all beneficiaries do this.
Doing a detailed psychological profile on every one of these bastards that has committed these crimes would be a useful start. Guess what they’d turn up? Low education; angry attitude; self-centred; abusive background; emotional immaturity and victim-mentality (it’s not my fault). Ethnicity would no doubt feature as a correlation, given the cases to date, as would socio-economic circumstance but don’t be fooled into thinking that either of those are causal factors because most Maori don’t do this and nor do most poor people.
All it takes then is a bit of common sense and unfortunately, lefties have proven they lack this by their obdurate insistence that it’s all about eliminating poverty. That’s fucked in the head and demonstrably wrong and we need to eliminate such thinking from the relevant govt agencies immediately and with extreme prejudice and yes I get the irony in my choice of words.
So how fucking hard is it then to identify and target all of those people with the above risk factors? Not fucking hard at all, PROVIDED there is a will to do so. Alternatively, let’s just keep munting on about how tewwible it all is and keep doing our best impressions of hand-wringing lefty behaviour which is about the only thing that particular group of idiots is good at. The choice is ours.
May 16th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
That we exist refutes the existence of a God.Would such a being need to create little old us just to run a long term test at the end of which he finds who the nicer ones amoungst us were (can’t he tell that before starting?)so they can join him at his place and keep him company for eternity to avoid getting bored?
May 16th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
An excellent analysis reid. But once identified what do we do with these ferals?
May 16th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
We shut them in a cell with the Bible and they can’t come out till they’ve changed their ways. Also included in the cell is a large angry fellow who loves children.
James if you’re trying to understand the mind of God, don’t. You can’t compete. Has it occurred to you for example, that this life we have on earth is for our benefit and not for God’s?
May 16th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
I don’t know about Jesus weeping, but that photo and the article made me. What’s also so sad is this story is so familiar as it has happened so many times in the past. No doubt the next revelation is that a neighbour, friend, family member or passer-by suspected something was up and did nothing.
BTW If you see this sort of thing, you can ring 0508 FAMILY (0508 326 459) or if you think the need is more urgent then ring the police. More at http://www.cyf.govt.nz/SuspectAbuse.htm

Very Sad, makes one very angrey.
Again another abuse case and again a “step father”.
May 16th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Reid. The Police know where the ferals are, but last I heard, we don’t lock them up for what they are likely to do. We wait till they have done it then say “tsk, tsk, shame.” And another kiddie bites the dust.

Fortunately, no-one here has any rage or hatred inside them.
May 16th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Not sure where DPF is coming from with his ‘Jesus weeps’ comments. The closest I can find in the New Testament is ‘Jesus wept’ -
John 11:33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.
“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
JN 11:35 Jesus wept.
JN 11:36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
But yes I think Jesus does care about all the little children. The appropriate bible reference would be- Matthew 18 starting at verse 1-
MT 18:1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
MT 18:2 He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3 And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
MT 18:5 “And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. 6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
MT 18:7 “Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! 8 If your hand or your foot causes you to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
MT 18:10 “See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.”

All this shit that our kids have to deal with and we continue to talk and talk and talk.
You want action,you want some sort of progress,then listen up I got a few ideas to atleast make a dent in the numbers.
1.BRING BACK CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS.
2.GET RID OF THE HUGE NUMBER OF POKIES.
3.BRING IN THE DEATH PENALTY FOR GRADES OF MURDER.
4.BARR ANY CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF 16 FROM ENTERING A PRISON FOR VISITS .
5.ANY A-CLASS DRUG MANUFACTURE FOR SUPPLY OR MANUFACTURE IS PUNNISHABLE BY THE DEATH PENALTY.
6.10 YEARS JAIL FOR SMUGGLING DRUGS INTO CORRECTIONS FACILITIES.(MANDATORY)
7.ALL BENNEFITS STOPPED FOR VIOLENT OFFENDERS FOR 10 YEARS.STARVE THEM THEY SQUEAL HARDER.
These idea are hard ,but you want action you gotta play hard.
As you read this just think of what was going through the minds ofsome of the children as they were being kicked and punched and assaulted .
Even worse think of what caused it, family ,friends or some lowlife.
May 16th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
You’re right Scott. I was going to post along those lines, but DPF doesn’t like to be corrected.
Interesting that you got to td for quoting the bible, must be those god botherers again, who belive what they like, not what is in their scripture.
May 16th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Capital punishment in schools???
Now we’re talking.
Let’s start with the teachers.
May 16th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
lilman, how about some more practical ideas?
1. Change drug policy to one of harm minimisation. That would see marijuana treated more liberally than alcohol, for example.
2. Eliminate the tax concessions given to religious bodies, thus allowing the rest of us to get a decent tax cut when we no longer have to subsidise parasitical religions.
3. Prohibit any form of religious instruction to anyone below the age of 16. This will aid in the development of critical thinking and empathy.
4. Permit abortion on demand and prosecute anyone who attempts to prevent an abortion or who villifies or in any way makes a woman who has had an abortion feel guilt. More abortions without guilt = less abused children.
May 16th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
1. Take half of any co workers wages who support the redistribution of wealth.
2. Replace current flag with one of the monopoly man smoking his cigar.
3. Apply eugenics to those who want to have a sustainable population.
4. Bring back Capital Punishment in schools, remember, don’t get a D.

I heard a woman call talkback in the early hours of the morning and claim the wife who received three year was the victim of battered women’s syndrome and should receive psychiatric help and instead of jail. The woman claimed to be a psychologist working for DHB. If true my taxes pay her wages. Just like my taxes pay for the Commissioner of Families and the Commissioner of Children. Neither of them have come out and condemned this pitiful excuse for a mother. The stepfather has been thoroughly condemned and rightfully so. No one is making excuses for him. If this mother gets off without jail time what message does this send to other mothers in similar circumstances?

CB. What message would it send ….? That society will not blame you if, due to fear for your personal safety, you allow your partner to monster your child to death.

Mara, that is exactly the message it will send. She is lucky she just got three years. I hope if she appeals that she gets extra time added on. I understand she is pregnant again. If she gets custody of that child and something happens to time or her who will accept responsibility? Not the Commissioner for saying nothing about gross neglect that cost a child his life but dribbling on about reasonable parental physical discipline

Chuck I hope her and her scumbag partner top themselves in prison. Probably be the single most productive thing either of them have ever done in their sorry lives.

“In an attempt to “shock” Duwayne into movement, Joachim dipped his paralysed foot into boiling water, leaving the largest of four scald wounds on his right leg.”
When I got to this bit, I actually said “fuck!” out loud. In an open plan office. Everyone thinks I have tourettes.
