All young people who had accessed the rooftop of the Korowai Manaaki residence in South Auckland have now come down following a coordinated response involving multiple agencies.
Minister for Children Karen Chhour confirmed the situation was resolved through the efforts of on-site staff, supported by Oranga Tamariki, New Zealand Police, and Fire and Emergency New Zealand.
“I want to thank all the staff who worked hard throughout this incident to resolve the situation. This was a multi-agency effort, including staff from Oranga Tamariki, Police, and Fire and Emergency who all responded,” said Chhour.
“The efforts and professional coordination of the people on the ground have allowed for an effective and efficient handling of the situation. You have all done an excellent job.
“I am relieved that there were no concerns for public safety, and that all the young people remained within the confines of the facility.
“The facility and everyone responding did exactly what they needed to do. This was a job well done and I am proud of the way it was handled.”
KFC as bait, like the last time this happened???
Let’s just hope that the chicken bones don’t clog-up the gutters with the cyclone approaching…
How much did that cost the taxpayers what a waste of money ,leave them up there the weather would have brought them down.
I wish they would leave these kids alone! Stop reporting about these kids it’s none of anyone’s business. Sick of the constant media noseying into state care. Did they find baby Ru’s killer yet??
