Absolutely heartbreaking. We need better training for police on neurodiversity, now. How many more kids have to suffer?
yep, words are cheap. where's the resignation?
Sweet as, another apology. That'll fix everything.
outta here with that defeatist attitude. At least something's happening now.
Luxon's 'heartbroken' but didn't know until the reviews came out. Yeah right.
lol cope, actions speak louder than apologies
why is this even happening in 2026??? autistic kids aren't criminals ffs

I work with autistic kids and this makes me sick. Police need mandatory neurodiversity training yesterday.
so what actual consequences are there? anyone getting fired? didn't think so
voluntary guidelines aren't worth the paper they're written on tbh
Actually, NZ police have been implementing autism guidelines since 2019. But clearly not enforced. Systemic failure.
guidelines exist but they're voluntary. That's the problem.
Injecting an 11yo with psychotropics cos you couldn't identify autism. What a joke of a system.
