Dark web reveals child left in hospital by Oranga Tamariki - a podcast by RNZ

A child spent more than nine weeks in a Waikato hospital because Oranga Tamariki failed to find anywhere else for them to live.
Documents posted on the dark web by the cyberattackers who targeted the DHB reveal staff were deeply concerned by aspects of the agency's work in one of its hospitals.
In material reviewed by RNZ, staff at the Waikato District Health Board said they were "extremely distressed" by the agency's treatment of a traumatised child who experienced "feelings of abandonment".
RNZ is broadcasting this story as the documents raise questions of public interest importance.
