I feel sorry for Kahui

I feel sorry for all the victims of Roger Kahui's offending. But I also feel sorry for Kahui after he was sentenced to preventative detention for rape. He is related to Chris Kahui who is facing charges over his twins. LIke Chris Kahui he has probably never had a real job in his life.

I feel sorry for him because he was born.

The minute he was conceived he was in trouble. He was taken off his parents when he was 7 after suffering physical and emotional abuse, he lived on the streets at the age of 9. He joined a gang in his teens and was in jail at age 21. The only reason that he has just 130 convictions is that he's spent half his life behind bars - and he`s only in his 30s. In fact he has been sentenced to more than 100 years in jail, but the sentences have been served concurrently.

A Kahui family member said "yes, you piece of shit" when the preventive detention sentence was read out in court. Perhaps the same could be said of his parents.

why the Kahui's should never have been parents

Reading the reports of the Kahui court case it is quite clear what the problem was: these two were quite happy shacking up but didn't want to commit to being parents, and Chris Kahui didn't want to go out and get a job. So why was he on a benefit, if you have to be available and looking for full time work to be eligible for a benefit?

Instead the couple argued about Chris Kahui's lack of work motivation, and King felt that when she was tired she could take off to her mums, sisters, wherever else..while Chris would go around and get her - and heaven knows where the kids would be and whether the whanau even though there may be something wrong.

No responsibility for parenting,that's what. By both parents, by the grandparents, or by the rest of the whanau. And y'know, our Government doesn't even care about such responsibilities enough to say anything about it, let alone do anything about it apart from given these idiots family assistance as well as a benefit and allowing them to be bludging off the state - and they wonder why our child abuse figures are so high.
