New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon promises reform after inquiry finds over 200,000 abused in care
New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon expressed regret on Wednesday after a Royal Commission of Inquiry report found some 200,000 children, young people and vulnerable adults were abused in state and religious care over the last 70 years.
The publication of findings capped a six-year investigation that followed two decades of similar probes around the world, echoing other nations’ struggles to reckon with authorities’ transgressions against children removed from their families and placed in state and religious care.
