Show Notes
There’s concern youth offending boot camps don't cater to the issues impacting children the most.
Newstalk ZB understands the programme for young offenders is starting in Palmerston North on Monday, for 10 youths.
They'll spend more time in the residential facility than in the pilot, and this iteration will have more input from local iwi.
Kickback co-founder and youth worker Aaron Hendry told Ryan Bridge these are kids who are often struggling in poverty and homelessness themselves.
He says parents don't have the adequate support to help children get through tough issues.
