Amazing person. Every justice movement needs allies like Dr Oliver Sutherland.
Absolutely tragic. At last Dr Oliver Sutherland’s and Acord’s work is revealed and acknowledged.
Cried watching this. Thank you for advocating dr sutherland
We are so grateful for Dr Oliver being present to tell his story. Almost got shoved under the carpet.
The way these kids were treated is horrific. More people need to share this video.😥
3 years later - and finally an apology, acknowledgement, and now justice! Thank you Dr Sutherland, what an amazing activist, advocate, academic, and most of all human.
What a great man who will surely get his best reward in the next life for his honesty integrity and true compassion and real kindness .God bless him and all those that suffer abuse.
Thank you for looking and staying the course for so many years. I am ashamed by the events of this story. To the children i am deeply sorry. To the people in authority at the time, you disgust me.
To the ONE INDIVIDUAL who ticked the "thumbs down"; get your head out from your a$$!
Wow. Good man. His soul will be going to heaven. Bless him🙏❤
true hero
My 2 cousins were sexually abused and shocked and to be honest, fkd right up in the head at lake Alice 😢😢
All comments have been audited. I wrote my experiences and comments, these have been deleted by youtube NZ.
Wow that’s disgusting. So they still don’t give a crap about these guys. Can’t wait for 2023? That should give the department enough time to gather their so called evidence.
I'm so sorry you don't have freedom of speech. I'm in the USA. I have found with these social media platforms you have to be very careful how to word things or they either delete your comment or suspend you for a day or two or both. I hope this helps.

Did the British write their letters in Maori?
I'm American so I have an admittedly poor understanding of NZ history. I've been told that the Maori arrived in NZ less than 3 centuries prior to the arrival of the europeans. Is this accurate?
Maori arrived in the early 1300s, and the first European to discover it, “Abel Tasman” discovered it in 1642, but the first European to land on NZ was Captain Cook in 1769 8 October.
While this report is horrific the treatments given in those days were the same for pakeha women. Any one deemed as not coping was given ect Many staff members protested but it was the main treatment before tranquillizers were mainstreamed. Ect blocked memory and was therefore prescribed for behavior modification.
Oh please you didn't get the same treatment as Maori. Yr men were not very nice to you or the children back then. Brutal culture of dominating their spouses and children.
The Domestic came with the British.
Yeah. White women were told not to speak their language.
@@aarohaa2008 The Māori were not very nice to the Māori and many still are suffering as was seen in "Once were warriors". Please.
