New Zealand needs tougher penalties for young offenders. They are just out of hand because they know there are no consequences for them and they can walk away from destroying others’ lives, and all they’re interested in is seeing themselves on video.
It’s going to be a long road to get back to New Zealand being a safe place.

What is happening to our once-calm community?
If someone cannot wait for a bus safely, then we have reached the pits.
No one should be subjected to this appalling behaviour.

Programme commended
Thank you for your inspiring article (July 29) describing local volunteers involved in the No One Dies Alone programme at Rotorua Hospital.
There are many reasons for the absence of friends or whānau at the bedside of a person in their dying hours.
Congratulations to those volunteers who offer their time and compassion to sit with and support patients at this critical time.
No one should die alone, and this inspiring programme is to be commended.
