Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has expressed deep distress over the wrongful detention of an autistic, non-verbal 11-year-old girl who was mistaken for a 20-year-old and placed in a mental health facility, where she was handcuffed and injected with medication.
“As a parent, you identify with what is a horrific set of circumstances … it’s just incredibly distressing and concerning,” Luxon told reporters at Parliament.
“Massive amounts of empathy and concern for her and her family.”
Health NZ has apologised and announced a review into the incident, while Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey said he was “disappointed” over the two-week delay in being informed about the case.
Luxon said there was a need for accountability, calling the situation “incredibly distressing and concerning,” and pledged support for the ongoing inquiry to prevent “future mishaps”.
Another “apology”. Days I wish govt in NZ would simply disappear.
Easiest lawsuit ever
“As a parent, you identify with what is a horrific set of circumstances…”
As a parent, he sends other people’s sons into the Ukraine meatgrinder.
Calls for accountability from the corporate state? What an oxymoron.
What was an autistic kid doing climbing on a bridge railing at 6:30am and why did the parents only realise she was missing 12 hours latter?
Whoa, thanks for the grassroots reporting.
And very valid core question. Who/what sort are the parents?
The health system database is in a bit of a mess ( after several major hacking events) and the names, addresses & health records of patients do not always correctly match with the corresponding nhi numbers. Instead of clobbering Luxon go and check with your health provider that your data is correct.
How does an 11 year old get mistaken for a 20 year old…?
Criminal charges must be filed
Luxon is crying crocodile tears. Why?
He has pulled the benefit(s) for those who own property and are Autistic, even if they inherit property from their relatives…
Prior to him, Jabby did NOTHING for the Autistic, except to threaten forcible vaccines onto them…
And our former J3wi$h PM John Key didn’t release a single dollar ($30 Million) that was set aside for Special Needs in Education!
Consider Luxon gone in the next (s)election, especially after pledging to stand ‘Shoulder-to-Shoulder’ with the Zionists supporting Khazarian Ukraine!!!
And…Luxon and / or his successor WILL NOT send my Neuro-Diverse child into any Talmudic-inspired Zionist war!!!
