Latest


Latest new posted on the 25th of April says that on Saturday the 18th of April, Maika (the mother), had been deported back to Samoa, but her baby still remains in New Zealand. A spokeswoman from the Immigration Department “confirmed to The Dominion that Karoline Maika,29, left for Apia last Saturday without her daughter Grace”. Karoline intended on flying down to Wellington, give birth there and then hand the new born over to her brother. Sources say that “Grace will remain in Wellington, where she will be cared for by extended family” and that “long-term care arrangements are still being considered”.
Finding this article, I am glad and relieved to know that Grace is being cared for, and that Karoline has been deported back to Samoa. But, still feel that the New Zealand justice system is still slack. Having many people comment about this issue; I have found that many people feel the same way. What is happening with the laws now-a-days? People are pretty much being set free for attempted murder and that’s something that needs to STOP!
