Child Youth Family Service Case File

Ruwani made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development

This request has been withdrawn by the person who made it. There may be an explanation in the correspondence below.

From: Ruwani

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

I am writing to request the Child Youth and Family Service case file, relevant information and associated evidential video interviews of Krystal Repia from the Ministry of Social Development under the Official Information Act 1982.

This material will all be used in an investigation on adolescent Maori suicide for Maori Television’s Native Affairs programme.

The issues related to this case are of significant public interest to our audience and we would like to make public the procedures and processes of the Child Youth and Family Service as they relate to the care this child received prior to her death.

We are currently in the process of talking to Krystal Repia's parents and they realise the significance their daughter's story has on the wider community and how whanau deal with adolescent Maori mental health.

For this investigation we will also need what measures Child Youth and Family Service have put in place following her death so the likelihood of this tragedy occurring again is prevented.

Public confidence in the Ministry of Social Development needs to be restored and our audience is a prime target for broadcasting this information.

I look forward to your prompt response to this request within 20 working days.

Yours faithfully,

Ruwani Perera
