A 2-year-old girl murdered by her father had been placed in his care just two months earlier by the Children, Young Persons and Their Families Agency. David Mark Crosland, aged 25, was this week sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of murdering his daughter at Ohinewai on September 9, 1997. At least four women, including the child's grandmother, knew Tishena was being hit, but no one reported it. Source: 4theKids.
