As part of the Faces of Innocents series, Stuff did a stocktake of every report, initiative or major announcement on child abuse.



In 23 years there have been at least 60 promises made. Over the same period, at least 204 children, aged 0-14, have died as a result of neglect, abuse, or maltreatment.

The children killed include Moko Rangitoheriri, who died in August 2015 after two months of horrific abuse from his caregivers, David Haerewa and Tania Shailer. CYFS does not believe it let Moko's family down.



The full list of 60 promises feature in the short video below.

At least 60 different official reports, initiatives or statements have been issued on child abuse since 1992.
