Social Development Minister Anne Tolley says she will apologise
to any child who was abused in state care after a report found a culture
of widespread ill-treatment.
The final report found that people, including many children, in state
care before the early 1990s, were subjected to a culture of abuse and
neglect. Ms Tolley said a lot of people just wanted acknowledgement of what they suffered and an apology.http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/282380/tolley-promises-apologies-for-abuse-victims
