Disturbing figures from the Abuse in Care Inquiry.
A report has found one in three children in state care end up in prison later in life.
For Māori , 42 percent serve custodial sentences as adults.
Voyce Whakarongo Mai advocates for children in care.
Spokesperson Tupua Urlich told Kate Hawkesby he's not surprised by the figures.
