- Heart breaking š
This was a really tough one to listen to. I cried and cried during episode 4, for the pain and suffering these young children went through. No one should have to ever experience that level of depravity at the hands of the ones who were meant to protect them!!! Rangi and Tyrone, the only silver lining is you found each other again after all these decades, and for that, my heart is truly happy for you both. As for the NZ government, you have blood on your hands!!!

Quite possibly the most harrowing thing Iāve ever listened to. What those children went through is horrendous, but sadly not just confined to lake Alice I fear

I work with some of them in Mason Clinic, victims of Lake Alice that is. Why is NZ used as guinea pigs for these unhinged doctors? The Cartwright enquiry comes to mind as well and the mandates we are subjected to, just as bad. Thanks for your work
