Apparently this happened three weeks ago and the news is just coming out now. Winston Peters as usual has no idea what is happening and is too busy licking Trump’s boots to actually say or do anything.

    LOL save your crocodile tears.
    SHE decided to live there, SHE took her son with her while SHE didn’t have the right documents.
    Who made her do all that? Whose responsibility is it then?
    Looks like she’s a shitty mother or an icredibly stubid one at best.
    You defending that and being from NZ yourself makes me think the Brits didn’t send their smartest criminals and colonizers over there at the time.

      Where are you from and why are you commenting here then? I’m not defending her, I just have a human amount of empathy and am placing the blame where it belongs.

      Also not actually from NZ mate. I’m just here because I care about my cousins from across the ditch.

        So you didn’t answer the question, who if not her is to blame for traveling without the required documents?
        You are simply shifting blame.
        And I do have empathy for people who deserve it as I explained in my first comment.
        I’ll repeat it since you also have trouble with your short term memory.

        Some poor desperate South-American, possibly not fully aware of the situation and trying his luck there I can sympathise with

        She FAFO, you can send her money if you want, IDGAF.
        I guess the 1000’s of families with kids in cages under Biden and now Trump didn’t deserve a Gofundme or news coverage.
        But as someone mentioned here “even white people from white countries.” is the important difference here.

        Scratch a liberal…

          Why are you commenting here? Just to troll?

          I vote far left actually. I just happen to have empathy for everyone caught up in the US regime. Which you pretty clearly don’t have. You could just as easily say that Central and South Americans chose to go to the US in search of a better life. However, that would obviously be fluffing psychotic.

          Edit: Also this is news coverage in a New Zealand community, on a New Zealand site, by a New Zealand news service, because she’s a New Zealander. Her being white doesn’t have anything to do with it, and I imagine the coverage would be the same if she were, say, Maori. Don’t conflate a lack of American news coverage of child detention in America, with an entirely different country prioritising news about its own citizens.

            SHE decided to live there and decided to risk traveling without the right documents.
            I feel sorry for the kid who has to suffer bcs of her actions.
            Not one bit for her.

            Her being white doesn’t have anything to do with it

            Apparently it does since I quoted another commenter who was indignified about just that.
            Oh no, this could happen to a WHITE woman! And it is also news in the US and CAnada.

            Now quickly name one of the 1000’s of S-Americans that went through much worse since Biden, being separated from their children, not especially brought to a facility where they could be together as they did for her.
            Can you? No, they’re just nameless ‘immigrants’.

            It was exactly the same with the ukraine war.
            Maybe far-left means something different in NZ, and the double standard/racism escapes you.
            Then again, I know little about NZ.
            A personal experience from a friend who wanted to live there with his NZ girlfriend he met while traveling and came back bcs they didn’t accept him.
            And he is a white European.
            That and the Christchurch shootings OC
            Good chance this ‘poor mother’ is a Trump loving racist herself, but that would be inconvenient for the story.

              Like I’ve said already, I’m not from NZ but am merely a cousin from across the ditch. Far left in Australia means the Socialists and Greens. Seems you’d criticise me for putting the centre-left Labor party next on my ballot, but you do need to number all the boxes for your vote to count! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              If you know so little about the country, why don’t you bugger off someplace else? Instead of making up spurious claims. In any case, I’m not going to bother with replying to you further, but you have a great day, okay?
