Oh my...How can a person do this?

While Nia Glassie's death was tragic, there has been some consolation in the justice served at the end of her murder trial, says Children's Commissioner Cindy Kiro.
The four-week trial over the violent death of Rotorua toddler Nia Glassie ended today with murder convictions for brothers Wiremu and Michael Curtis.
Wiremu Curtis, 19, and Michael Curtis, 22, were found guilty in Rotorua High Court this afternoon over what the Crown described as horrific ongoing abuse and beatings which equated to torture and eventually led to the three-year-old's death.
Nia's mother, Lisa Kuka, 35, was found guilty on two manslaughter charges relating to a lack of protection and failure to seek medical help for her critically injured daughter.
Kuka was Wiremu Curtis's partner at the time of the abuse.
Nia died of brain injuries in Auckland's Starship Hospital on August 3 last year, two weeks after suffering what the Crown said were fatal kicks to the head by the brothers.
Nia's death did not just shock New Zealand, it is also being reported widely across Australia and several major news site have featured the guilty verdicts prominently.
In the months leading up to her death the toddler had suffered horrific abuse while being brought up in an environment where she was often surrounded by several people.
Nia's cousin Michael Pearson, 20, and Michael Curtis' partner Oriwa Kemp, 18, were found not guilty of manslaughter in relation to the death.
They were, however, found guilty along with the Curtis brothers on various other charges.
The Curtis brothers and Kemp were found guilty on ill-treatment charges, specifically relating to swinging Nia on a clothesline, and also on general ill-treatment charges.
Pearson escaped a conviction on the general charge.
The brothers and Pearson were also found guilty of charges relating to putting Nia in a tumble drier.
Media reported the Curtis brothers were visibly upset when their guilty verdicts were returned and needed to be restrained by prison guards.
Dr Kiro said today that media coverage of the four-week trial made for gruelling reading and the testimony of child witnesses painted a chilling picture of what went on in Nia's home.
"Most disturbing was that they saw this abusive behaviour as normal," Dr Kiro said.
"Through the court case it became evident that a number of adults, both family members and neighbours, were aware of the neglect and abuse Nia was subject to.
"That they didn't speak out in time is something they will have to live with."
The five had been on trial for four weeks and the jury had over 20 charges to consider before returning the verdicts.
Justice Judith Trotter broke down following the verdicts.
She thanked the jury for their work.
She said the four and a half week trial had taken it toll on them and offered counselling and excused them from further jury duty.
Radio New Zealand said her voice began breaking as she spoke and she cried.
The case surrounding Nia's death caused a national outcry when information about it emerged last year, and feelings were inflamed as finer details of the abuse emerged throughout the trial.
Lawyers for Pearson and Kemp distanced their clients from the worst of the abuse, saying they were either not directly involved or not present at all when the worst of it occurred.
Kuka's lawyer described her as a hard working mother who wanted the best for her children but had made a big mistake in pairing up with a then 17-year-old Wiremu Curtis.

Wow goes to show you that the world isnt all that perfect. Some are insane and some are sane. This on the other hand, is very disturbing and shocks me so much. This is truly sad and I wish someone would of stood up for her and actually would of told the authorities earlier. I guess fear got to her, poor thing I hope those bastards get it bad.

 

[nitro91]

so what did the two brothers get?

 

[Doggman]

yeah what did they get ^

 

[xSuicide]

This actually made me feel like crying, yeah call me a pussy if you want, but basically like the title... How can a human being do this to another.

i believe in war and such. but doing it to someone who cant fight back nor stick up for them self is just wrong.

To be honest, i hope the brothers rot in prison or something

To be honest, if it doesn't affect me in any physical way, I don't care. The child has no relation to me, and I'm most certain no relation to any Sythe users, so I have no idea as to why anyone else on this site would care either.

 

[◘○♥plawks♥○◘]

More victims of 4chan desensitization.

I found the rotary clothesline part somewhat amusing. I get strange mental images.

Almost everything I hear I have that same reaction to, but to this, I just can't.
