A woman who often visited the Christchurch Oranga Tamariki unit Te Oranga says she feared for her young relative's wellbeing.
Te Oranga is being closed while an investigation is carried out into allegations of abuse, triggered by the leak of a video of showing staff manhandling a teenage boy.
Oranga Tamariki says its other care homes will also be investigated.
The Christchurch woman says during her visits she regularly saw staff shouting at children and once found bruising on the neck of her young relative.
