Auckland mum shares her fears for 14-year-old ram raiding daughter
An Auckland mum has described the almost helpless feeling of watching her 14-year-old daughter get sucked into a life of stealing cars and disobeying authorities with a youth ram raid gang.
She fears her runaway child “coming home in a box” and believes the disruption of Covid-19 lockdowns on daily school life started the chaos.
From what Zoe* knows, her daughter joined a group of about 15 teens - most of them like-minded school drop-outs - and has committed ram raids on businesses, including allegedly a Remuera retailer.
In an emotional interview with the Herald, Zoe recalled looking out her window in the early hours and watching her daughter led down the driveway by two police officers.
