JJ Lawrence
November 15th, 2012 at 3:00 pm by David FarrarAnna Leask at the Herald writes:
A week before JJ Lawrence was murdered, his aunt went to check on him because his father was concerned the tot was in danger.
She thought the 2-year-old was okay, never imagining that days later he would be killed by a man who had been subjecting him to months of abuse, including breaking his arm twice and forcing him to smoke dope.
Yesterday – exactly a year after James Joseph Ruhe Lawrence died from a blow to his tummy so hard that his pancreas and liver split in half – the man who had made his short life hell was found guilty of murder.
Joel Loffley began a relationship with JJ’s mother, Josephine Lawrence, last year. While in Loffley’s care JJ received two arm breaks – one left for days as Ms Lawrence was too drunk to seek help – and numerous other injuries.
Obviously the problem was the lack of a universal child benefit.
Loffley “played rough” with JJ and was seen making him smoke an asthma inhaler full of marijuana.
JJ was visibly terrified of Loffley, but could do nothing to escape.
One of far too many cases we have.
I will never understand such cruelty to children. I feel protective about kids and babies, that are not even related to me. So do 99% of us. It is the most natural thing in the world.
Keeping Stock blogs:
When we blogged about the guilty verdict returned against Joel Loffley yesterday, regular commenter bsprout attempted to make a political statement saying this:
“It’s a pity that the government has only invested in the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff stuff and have gutted all the initiatives that would stop these things happening in the first place”
Looking beyond the fact that the measures proposed by Paula Bennett in her White Paper on Vulnerable Children (a far more wide-reaching solution than Labour, supported by the Greens managed in nine years) have yet to be fully implemented, we suggest that no political initiative could have prevented this.
You can’t blame poverty either. As we recall, evidence was given at the trial that both Loffley and Ms Lawrence were receiving welfare benefits despite living together. Loffley supplemented his benefit by selling cannabis from the couple’s home. A lack of money did not cause JJ’s death. And bsprout should reflect on those ripping off the welfare system, especially those who think it is their “right” to do so. The money being paid out to welfare cheats would be far better spent elsewhere in the economy.
Their combined income was higher than many households. The problem was they spent it on cannabis and alcohol.
I hope it is a very long time until Loffley is out of prison.

Why are you and KS conflating this issue with one of child poverty, DPF? Did Loffley or his lawyers advance poverty as a cause of his behaviour?
If not, then saying “one beneficiary is a murderer, therefore no beneficiary deserves additional assistance and all must be managing well on what they’re getting” is drawing such a long bow that you’ll need an extra arm.
And even if they did try putting that forward in mitigation, a simple “bullshit” would suffice, without trying to use it as the shakiest of foundation on which to argue that the children of beneficiaries and low income earners do not deserve a better standard of living.
[DPF: Rex - Labour and Greens always go on about how you can't stop child abuse, unless you reduce "child poverty". They say paying beneficiaries more will reduce child abuse.
I'm not making a case for or against increasing benefits. I'm shooting down the arguments that dozens of leftie groups have made that child abuse is predominately about poverty]

The Government of the land should not have to “invest in” “initiatives” to try to persuade human beings to look after their babies and not kill them.
Human beings ought to be able to take that kind of initiative for themselves; and if they can’t, there’s something wrong with them not the Government.
The only “initiative” the government should “invest in” is taking this thing to the rubbish dump, shooting it, and dumping the carcass in a hole. It is nothing but a failed attempt at a person. An utterly failed attempt. Throw it in the rubbish.

They should be. The sad reality is though, that there is a lot of people out there with “something wrong” with them. If we hold childrens rights to be important and inalienable, Government initiatives are the only way to help the poor children who are unlucky enough to have parents with “something wrong” with them.

i think poverty is the lack of financial security, not a lack of money per se. i know that is waffly liberal talk and vague-sounding “class” critique, but i think poverty sort of encompasses welfare dependency, rather than being opposite. Poverty is not really a very useful term.
hey, this is just my 2 cents – and i agree, poverty is not a reason or excuse – but at some level, i think the underclass status of the guilty party and a general lack of social mobility in NZ society did have something to do with what ended up happening to the innocent little kid. Society left him in the care of a monster.

The murdering laws didn’t help either. I don’t see what your point is.
Back on subject, I think this comes back to males latching onto solo parent females, and thinking they have a right to treat their children like crap or use them as a form of stress relief. While people seem to be quick to focus on the ethnicity of the child, an even more common theme here is that the majority of these cases involve a “stepfather” (Delcelia Witika, Tangaroa Matiu, Ngatikaura Ngati, Nia Glassie, Saliel Aplin and Olympia Jetson, Coral Burrows, James Whakaruru etc. etc.), and the “step-father” is almost always unemployed.
I’d like to see a campaign encouraging mothers on the DPB to choose a partner wisely-but that wouldn’t fit the PC agenda of some out there.

I agree with Adele.
I think the government could do a lot to help families like this.
1. Stop feeding their addictions by shovelling them money to buy drugs with.
2. If they’re getting government money, then it needs to be controlled by the government. We need a benefit card.
3. Stop giving people incentives to recklessly have more and more kids
4. Give people independence by making them save up to get things, instead of going to WINZ for a grant.
5. Increase sentences for crimes to give children a longer break from their criminal father. At the moment, they’ll have a short amount of time then come home and give everyone a hiding, or home D where they get stoned all day. There should be no home D – they should be in jail.
And there are plenty of others of things the government could do to help these children and their families. But they instead do the opposite.

tristanb suggests:
In addition to declaring areas “dry”, John Howard’s government did just that in the outback across NT and parts of Queensland. For the first time in memory, Aboriginal women could walk the streets safely. Their children were fed. After some initial grumbling, most Aboriginal people accept that they are now better off than ever.
But now, declaring that Aboriginal men should have “the same right as anybody to buy drink” (never mind their responsibilities) the Queensland State government intends to relax the ban. No doubt they’d do away with the welfare payment by card if they could, but it’s a Federal function.
The most saddening aspect of this is that the Queensland government is Liberal while Federal (which is urging against relaxing the grog ban) is Labor.
If the benefit couldn’t be used to buy drugs and booze (and computer game consoles and new games) I suspect we’d see a sudden increase in the number of young men who found they were suddenly fit for work, since a wage would be the only way to obtain such luxuries. Then with the money saved by getting them off the teat we could afford to increase support for the genuine deserving cases who’d be happy to spend using the card.

I will never understand such cruelty to children. I feel protective about kids and babies, that are not even related to me. So do 99% of us. It is the most natural thing in the world.
I feel protective about kids and babies too, but that doesn’t stop me from understanding why Loffley did what he did. People do what they do because of their habits, habits are formed from actions, actions arise from thoughts. It’s Loffley’s thoughts, or lack thereof, which caused this.
To most of us it’s only natural to be protective to a fragile child. This is because we all grew up with love in the family. But to Loffley and thousands like him, who didn’t grow up like that, it’s not natural, at all. They don’t have the same instincts we have. Further all of them leave skool young, get wasted too young which fucks their brain, have lots of fights when they’re young, which twists their morality and sense of what’s normal and do a dozen other things when they’re young, which would never occur to any of us.
The thing that I haven’t yet worked out is why Loffley and others do it to kids when others who have similar upbringings don’t. All of them are violent but most of them don’t do it to kids. There’s a very small ratio of people who do it to kids, out of the total pool of people with his sort of upbringing and background. But the total pool is so large there are other Loffley’s out there, right now. We all know it.
None of this is to excuse Loffley, but there’s absolutely no point in analysing something like this if you’re going to get all judgy and moralistic. Of course what he did was wrong, of course it was. But what does it add to the sum of knowledge merely to restate that obvious no-brainer?

If you had to labour for 40 hours a week for your dole, then (a) you wouldn’t have the time to intoxicate babies with dope, and (b) you would be in a position to compare other more gainful employment with where you are, and possibly even start thinking of the future.
Reid –
Vote:great comment, though I disagree with your last paragraph. I think public condemnation of, and even hatred for criminals is a positive force in society. There needs to be more of it, and less of this thinking that they are entitled to our “help” as though it is someone else’s responsibility to offer them something better than being a piece of shit. Basically, I reckon the more widespread a loathing of criminals is, the more kids will be brought up with a worldview that you wouldn’t even contemplate going down that road, it is unthinkable. Call it peer pressure, if you like. (Of course it needs to be tempered by an appreciation of the imperfect nature of any justice system and the principles of presumption of innocence. )

Thanks RRM appreciate that. Amongst criminals, I’m assuming Loffley would be reviled and he’ll need to go into protective custody. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone takes him out at some stage, just like they took out the sword guy.
But he wasn’t thinking about that when he was doing it, day after day. All he was doing then was operating on auto-pilot, on instinct, as he knew it. No thought going on. Nothing more than a vague emotion from his heart that he’d long ago learned to ignore. That’s the problem. These people don’t make the same connections all of us do, when they’re doing this stuff. It just never occurs to them to think about what they’re doing. Until they do something they can’t hide, then they know they’re in trouble, then they think about it, but not, unfortunately, before that. It’s the why do they not think about it, that we need accurately to answer, if we’re to stop this from happening again and again and again.

When one of these scum kills their kid it’s two less in the cycle of abuse. The kid dead, the scum locked up until he’s past breeding.

RF, I believe it was reported that Loffley is PI, what ethinic group, I can not recall. Only reason why it springs to mind, is because at the time I recall thinking, “thank fuck he isn’t Maori”. I’m not proud of that thought.
Left will lay blame and/or make excuses for this POS. Right will call for cutting benefits and harsher penalities.
Here are the facts as I see them. Loffley killed this small child. His mother did not protect him. No excuses, no what ifs, no should have done something different. And JJ is dead.
So the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff was fuck all help. I doubt a huge electric fence at the top of the cliff would have made a difference in this case. Do we remove the cliff?
Or how about we make an example of the two above. Sterilize her and give him the death penalty. Send a clear message you take a life, you forfeit yours. You were given the gift of a child and wasted it? You forfeit the right to have another.
Of course I know it won’t happen. And there will be those who will say “loffley didn’t stand a chance, he didn’t know any better”. Was JJ punched and thrown about like a sack of coal in downtown Auckland? Of course not. Because loffley knew it was wrong. Did lawrence take her child to cyfs or any other family member to protect him? No… because he was her meal ticket.
Well the meal ticket is gone, tho another is on the way. I doubt very much that she h learned her lesson.

Quite simple.

When a mother on the DPB has her child murdered by her live in boyfriend, she gets life.
Regardless of circumstances.
If JJs mother knew she was going to go to jail for life if her boyfriend killed her sprog she would have been
forced to act to defend her child like any other normal mother would have.
These ferals like JJs mother need to be made more afraid of the consequences of the Law than
they are from the bash from their boyfriend. Not the case at present.
A simple solution
Norhland Wahine @ 6.39 Correct, spot on.

Of course the police had evidence to charge the mother with a number of crimes, but they apparently took an easy way out. Baby JJ had broken bones and his mother claimed he was clumsy even while also admitting that she was afraid that Loffley would kill him. JJ’s aunty gave compelling evidence of the boys’ fear of Loffley, presumably JJ was treated by a doctor. There were a number of events unfolding in a way that is very disturbing, none less than the nature of the investigation and who was charged.

Of course there’s a fine line between this, and someone who is an outright bastard, who knows no limits, who will take their anger out on any convenient “object.”
And within that subset of women who get off on that class of male, some are incapable, through lack of education or otherwise, of distinguishing between men who’ll act like that and give they alone themselves a “rush,” and men who progress beyond that, to hallucinate they’re the king and the master, nothing can nor should nor will stop them, and they’ll just do what they want, with anyone who lives there.

Stop paying women to have babies. No benefit, no WFF.
The money saved can be used for top class education and health. You seldom see this sort of thing occur in working families.

Charlie Brown: “Shazzadude – The anti-smacking law was meant to help stop cases of child abuse wasn’t it?”
No, it was only implemented to stop parents using a legal loophole to get away with physical violence. There are other laws, such as our murder laws, or brutalising children or neglecting them that are in place to stop child abuse.

The mother as I understand has lost custody for the moment. She should also lose guardianship permanently. I have heard of too many case of parents or relations raising a child and then a few years later the biological mother regains custody.

I blame Key as well as the scumbag. Key is the leader of the country. He has the power to sort this sort of shit. Nothing from him, not even a squeak.
