A quarter of a million people were abused in care in New Zealand from 1950 to 2019 — from at risk youth to vulnerable adults. Here are just two stories among the hundreds of thousands.

Hohepa Taiaroa, now 64, was abused in state care in the 1970s which he says led him to a life in and out of prison.

Ihorangi Reweti Peters, who is just 18, has been in 14 different care placements and says he was abused in five of them.
