LETTER: ‘Monsters on the loose’

Thursday 29 December 2022 | Written by Supplied | Published in Letters to the Editor, Opinion

The first is the father of a five-year-old who beat his child (Child slapped, thrown to the ground in ‘serious’ assault, Cook Islands News, December 22). In no way can anyone justify beating a five-year-old, let alone with such brutality. Cook Islands News said the child was “slapped”. But it appears to me that much more violence and force may have been used than was reported.
