Thank You
My 15 year old daughter fell in a shop in Riccarton today and impaled herself by her arm on a shop fitting. To the:
- friend who phoned the ambulance
- two male customers that helped free her
- the customer and nurse who bandaged the wound
- the paramedic who drove her to the hospital
- her friend who stayed by her side
- her friends who bussed to the hospital to support her
- the amazing doctor that stitched her up...
THANK YOU. Thank you for looking after my daughter, your kindness and caring are so appreciated. I feel very grateful to be living here with people like you. Sue
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
