Oranga Tamariki is being slammed over the death of five year old Malachi Subecz.
An investigation conducted by the Chief Ombudsman of New Zealand has found that Oranga Tamariki failed to do the bare minimum to protect Malachi Subecz from abuse from his caregiver in the lead up to his death.
Oranga Tamariki CEO, Chappie Te Kani, is here now to offer an explanation.
"I'm still awaiting the work of the Chief Social Worker, his work is broader and deeper than the Chief Ombudsman's investigation. But to be assured, once that review is completed, if the Chief Social Worker highlights to me that systems need to be improved or people held to account, I will do that."

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
