CASE STUDY

THREATS OF VIOLENCE

Raised around gangs, Quintin inadvertently found himself in a bad situation – receiving multiple threats from various gang members.

With the help of a Te Aranui Youth Trust intervention, Quintin was able to leave Tauranga and find safety out of town. He has now permanently relocated to a new area, for a new life.

Our kids often don’t choose their own path, they are raised in entrenched poverty, affected by the decisions of those who are meant to care for them and fail.
