Oranga Tamariki accused of trying to `wean` child off parents by slashing contact
(WorldNews New Zealand)

By Te Aniwa Hurihanganui of rnz.co.nz A Bay of Plenty family says Oranga Tamariki has cut their weekly visits with their child to monthly in order to `wean` the boy from his parents before he is placed in permanent care. The eight-year-old boy was taken into care by the agency in 2017 due to concerns around family violence, drugs, neglect and stable accommodation, but an agreement was reached to allow the parents a weekly two-hour visit with him. RNZ is not naming any of those involved. From last year that access allowed the parents to pick the boy up and take him to his grandmother`s house to play, eat, and spend time with his cousins.
