Mother's distress over damage to babies' graves

Flowers, wooden crosses and other decorations had been broken and strewn around the children's area of the gardens. Mother Brookie Himiona emailed Auckland Council about the damage on Tuesday afternoon after her daily visit to her daughter's grave.  "I went back early [Wednesday morning] and it was still damaged." Brookie said. Flowers and decorations and the most of the other graves in the children's section were a mess. "We do take full responsibility and will work with all our teams to ensure this does not happen again." Auckland Council says.
