More than a hundred people huddled under the awnings on Tauranga waterfront this morning for a Rally for Moko.
The rally was one of many held nationwide to coincide with David Haerewa and Tania Shailer's sentencing in the High Court at Rotorua - the caregivers responsible for the death of three-year-old Moko.

Moko was kicked, slapped, stomped on, had faeces rubbed in his face and was bitten.
He died in Taupo Hospital in August last year after suffering internal bleeding, septic shock from his leaking bowel and swelling of the brain.
Originally charged with Moko's murder, Shailer and Haerewa pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
