Yup. Have already voiced my opinion on the wall - twice actually because there was so much to say I couldn't fit it all in one post. -------------

Yea, there's no way I'd buy anything that would end up profiting the woman - I don't really care whether she was the one who did it or whether she was just happy to live in a situation where two poor wee ones were in such terrible danger.
If all she really wanted was 'her side of the story out there', then she'd be giving the profits to some childrens charity. -------------

What annoys me is that the case is still very open, they haven't charged anyone. So why is she writting a book that apparently tells us 'who did it' isn't this something that should be said in court and say 5yrs ago??
It's disgusting..she should have been there for them. |

Its just so wrong - like you said the case not concluded so how can they write a book and why would you want to buy it, written from such a strong bias, whether she did or did not do it, the fact is she didn't protect them either. I hope bookstores take a stand against the book, I have noticed some smaller bookstores have refused to sell it, I just hope all the attention its getting doesn't make people curious and buy it - I am beyond disgusted. I agree with you hopes if she was serious, then shse's be doing this to raise money to support childrens charities.

| I won't buy it but i would absolutely read it. Not because i believe anything thats going to be published but i'm curious. Not curious enough to fund her life of course. And agree if she has/had 'special unrevealed information' then wtf has she been holding onto it for? I remember when the little ones were first hurt and i was like 'oh how sad' but now i have my own i could actually cry every time it comes on the news. I don't understand how anyone could do anything to hurt a bubba. |

| I was just going to post that - also heard on talkback that its illegal to profit from a crime so if she takes any money its illegal. |

At this point I don't even care if she has 'new' evidence. Those poor little boys were subjected to severe abuse and neglect and the whole waste of space of a family closed ranks to protect themselves rather than their children. Taonga my arse. As far as I'm concerned the whole bloody family are as guilty as each other, round em up and sterilise the lot of them. -------------

Someone should just read it then facebook who she thought did it then it would get around and no one else would need to buy the book!
I would understand if the book was written to 'highlight' and help change child abuse but there doesn't seem to be that feel about it. Sadly. |

If she wanted to tell her side of the store she should have talked to the police or in court.
I know people close to the medical case and believe she is guilty for those poor wee babies lives. It makes me think impermanent sterilisation is the way to go. She had already lost her other kids to CYFS, then killed those two but can just go on and on having babies. And guess who is paying for her to do that????? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Whilst she may get royalites from the book, does not mean she did not receive some money as an up front payment, I do not believe she has done this for free, otherwise why would she not have just given all this supposed new info in court.

Absolutely. The way the family refuse to aid the investigation was disgusting, so to now have a "tell-all" book is just sickening. If she knows who killed them (assuming it wasn't her) then why not help the police? Disgusting. ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

They did charge someone - Chris Kahui. He was arrested and charged with the crime and then aquitted; just because his defence did a good job, doesn't mean he didn't do it. All the police evidence obviously pointed to him and was enough, they thought, to get a conviction. I wouldn't buy it but I would read it. I'd like to hear how things can get that bad. I too suspect she may have been paid a fee for her input. There've been plenty of books written in support of 'criminals' (such as Joe Karam's David Bain book) so this really isn't a new thing. I heard Ian Wishart on the talkback and he wholeheartedly believes that she didn't do it. He also said that the information in the book is not 'news' to the police but probably will be to the public and that in the book, she reveals who she believes did do it. According to the book, she wasn't one of the people who kept her mouth shut to the police and she helped them as much as she could. I'm just sad that no justice has been done for these little babies. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Okay wrong wording, they have no one locked up and currently serving for the hiddeous crime they commited.
The whole family should be jailed for not saying anything. SOMEONE knows and is keeping it to themselves. |

I heard on the radio this morning that Macsyna admitted to her boyfriend that she DID do it. She said "Chis didn't do it, I did it." and then wouldn't say any more.
I wonder where the police are going to go with that. ETA: That's what he says, I'm not sure if we can believe that though. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Jelly, I saw on the news tonight that said ex boyfriend later went on to admit he wasn't great at truth telling and then when asked again weather she had said those things to him he said no. Then he claimed the convo was recorded on his cellphone which has been examined and they found nothing. |

| serious question, not trying to be smart or anything - but werent the other kids that went into care her children + a cousin or niece or similar? And hasnt Chris gone on to have another baby with someone else and you know, not abuse her or have her taken away? I can't quite remember if that happened or not. |

I don't know sorry, Bowie. I think i remember the fact he was having another kid. To be honest, no matter whether he did or didn't do it, he didn't protect his boys and that's enough reason for me to be sad he's breeding again.
I joined the FB group, but I think I might quit it... the general tone feels a bit wacko to me (i.e. they're child killers, lets smash them). I'm in no hurry to buy the book and I'm happy for the world to know that (and if enough people don't, then the message will get through), but I dont care if others choose to buy it, that's cool. Not sure if that attitude really fits with the FB group! -------------

I don't know if she killed the babies or not but she knows who did and then there is the neglect they suffered long before they died....
And in my cynical opinion, I would be very wary of any information she provides as being truthful. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
