Calls for offenders to be screened for neurodisability
BODY:
Neurodisabilities can range from learning differences like dyslexia, through to Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Research suggests that people with neurodisabilities are highly over-represented in prisons. Today a forum in Wellington, hosted by the Dyslexia Foundation, brings together representatives from the Justice Department, Police and a range of government ministries to explore the common and shared characteristics of neurodisabilites and why they may make people vulnerable when they come into contact with police or the courts. We speak to Chair of the NZ Institute for Educational and Developmental Psychologists Rose Blackett and Eleanor Bensemann, who raised her grandson who has FASD.
EXTENDED BODY:
Amidst calls for inmates to be screened for neuro-disabilities, a woman has told Nine to Noon how her grandson, who suffers from Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, was jailed as a teenager.
Eleanor Bensemann raised her grandson, who was born with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and another intellectual disability.
At 19 he has already spent eight months in prison.
Research suggests that people with neuro-disabilities are highly over-represented in prisons. Neuro-disabilities include learning differences like dyslexia, through to Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Ms Bensemann told Nine to Noon as a child her grandson appeared to be "perfectly normal".
"He was a very cute, lovely little boy.
"As he grew older... schooling became quite difficult for him, but we still didn't really think that there was anything wrong."
He was not diagnosed with FASD, and another intellectual disability, until he was 10 years old, which was also when Ms Bensemann's husband, who was her grandson's main caregiver, died from Motor Neurone disease.
"Then I was left as a solo parent to raise him, and his behaviour became very very difficult."
She said it was hard to get help for her grandson because agencies were used to dealing with children who had been abused.
There was evidence that if children were diagnosed early and given support, then it was possible to avoid them getting into trouble with the police, Ms Bensemann said.
Her grandson was eventually sentenced to two years under the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act.
"That was not a great time for him and he has been in and out of the justice system ever since."
During this time authorities decided he did not have an intellectual disability, so all his support was taken away. He ended up in prison after becoming homeless.
FASD was not by itself recognised as a disability in New Zealand, Ms Bensemann said. Another intellectual disability was also needed to make him eligible for support.
"A lot of these kids don't have ... a diagnosed intellectual disability and they get no support whatsoever, or help.
"And their parents are just screaming out for help and they don't get it, because they don't fit the criteria.
"The system, I feel, just doesn't know how to deal with people. Prison isn't appropriate, but there is no other choice really."
She said people like her grandson's suffered symptoms included acting without thinking of the consequences, poor control of emotions, being easily lead and susceptible to peer pressure, and desperately wanting to fit in. This made them susceptible to being recruited by gangs.
NZ Institute for Educational and Developmental Psychologists chair Rose Blackett said police and the courts should screen offenders with neuro-disabilities, and more resources were needed for agencies who dealt with people with the condition the issue.
She said the structure and biological makeup their brains meant they were not capable of making reasonable decisions.
"(They) are being set up to fail within a system."
The Dyslexia Foundation is hosting a forum today to bring together representatives from a range of government ministries to explore the shared characteristics of neuro-disabilities, and why they make people vulnerable when they come into contact with police or the courts.

EXTENDED BODY:
Teenage sisters Melati and Isabel Wijsen are on a mission to ban plastic bags on Bali - and they're succeeding.
Distressed by seeing discarded shopping bags on Bali’s beaches, in the sea, and even in rice paddies, two sisters decided to do something about it.
Aged 10 and 12 at the time, Melati and Isabel Wijsen decided to started Bye Bye Plastic Bags. They got a team together, started petitions and beach cleanups, and decided they needed to get the attention of the Governor of Bali.
The trouble was, despite writing to him almost every day, he wouldn't respond. Undeterred, Melati and Isabel went on a hunger strike, and within days they had their meeting. What's more, the governor committed to a plastic-bag free Bali by 2018.

Nathan Mikaere-Wallis on teenage drinking
BODY:
Parenting expert Nathan Mikaere-Wallis on teaching teens to be responsible around alcohol.
EXTENDED BODY:
School ball season is just around the corner, and this week several organised after-ball parties have been cancelled. How can parents teach their children to be responsible around alcohol?
Nathan Mikaere Wallis talks with Lynn Freeman about teenagers and drinking:
Read an edited snapshot of their conversation
What is the impact of alcohol on the teenage brain?
Nathan Mikaere Wallis: That’s really bad news, unfortunately. In the last 10, 15 years – especially in the last 10 – we’ve learnt that it has way more of an impact than we previously thought. Before brain scans – 10 years ago - we thought your brain, your actual skull, doesn’t grow after the age of 10 to 12. We thought the brain was fully grown by about 12.
We thought adolescence was just psychological changes. But it’s only with MRI scans we’ve been able to see (in the last 10 years) that it’s biological and physiological. We don’t have an adult brain at 12 - it’s closer to mid-20s before we have an adult brain. While alcohol is not very damaging to an adult brain at all, it turns out to be really damaging to a teenage brain so it’s causing lots of concern.
The binge drinking culture that we have in New Zealand – adults and teenagers alike – that must be even more damaging to brain development.
Nathan Mikaere Wallis: Absolutely, because the normal amount of drinking in New Zealand would be considered alcoholic drinking in other parts of the world. When you’re asked in Europe what’s the socially acceptable number of drinks you can have in one evening, the average number comes back in the research as being three. I always think three drinks is enough to dance and do karaoke, so what is the fourth drink for?
If you ask in New Zealand how many drinks are considered acceptable… the number comes back as 13, on average. So that binge drinking culture does expose us to way more danger.
In an ideal world we would try and keep teens alcohol-free, but that’s not going to happen. So is it best for parents to negotiate with their teenager a safe amount of alcohol for them to drink and a safe way of drinking alcohol?
Nathan Mikaere Wallis: That’s the conclusion I’ve come to. I’ve had five teenagers now - I’ve talked one of them into not drinking until they’re 18. With the other ones… a harm minimisation approach seems to work best. There’s a whole lot more risks when they sneak out than when they do it under negotiation…
That’s where the really dangerous stuff happens. In lots of ways things remain relatively tame until one in the morning because old people like you and I are out until [then]. The really dangerous stuff starts after that. If they’ve snuck out they do jump right into the deep end of that. You’re also not negotiating how much they’re drinking or what rate they’re drinking when they’re doing it all behind your back.
Some people will have more tolerance – the male/ female difference, the weight difference. What’s right for one young person is not going to be right for the next young person. It’s a little bit of a guessing game, isn’t it, at the start?
Nathan Mikaere Wallis: It is, although it doesn’t have to be that confusing. It’s really just weight – the huge one parents have to think about. Probably weight is the only one that has to impact on their decision making.
A question from Julie: "Our 16 year old asks why can’t she have wine when we do, at dinner? Do you have an opinion on how or whether we should include our 16 year old children in our meal-linked habit?”
It’s a question I get asked a bit. Let’s go straight to the research – the research tells us that the earlier you have alcohol with your child, the more likely they are to have a drug and alcohol issue. The common New Zealand thing that that parent might be thinking ‘If I have alcohol with the child at dinner time we’re being like they are in France’ so we’re modelling good attitudes towards alcohol’ but the reality is we’re not in France and they don’t binge-drink in France. When they give children alcohol in France they water it down, they have lemonade and sherry. You’re not at risk in France like you are in New Zealand.
In New Zealand the earlier you have alcohol with your child, you’re validating the use of alcohol. So those children who’ve had a wine with mum and dad, they’re more likely to abuse alcohol outside of the home. I would consistently be saying ‘I understand that teenagers are going to drink because it’s part of the culture. I would rather you didn’t because of the damage it’s doing to your brain. It’s not something I would encourage. Certainly I’m not going to give you wine with your meal because you’ve got a teenage brain and wine is poison to your brain’.
It’s not poison to my brain – as an adult – so I’ve got no problems being what they might think is a hypocrite and having a glass of wine myself and saying no to the 16 year old. Because the reality is when you’re over 21 alcohol doesn’t really do damage to your brain. Under 21, certainly 18, it really is doing damage, it really is a poison.

“You do it because you sort of have to in the beginning and you have to be kind of scrappy and hustle a lot when you’re a self-managed artist and build your profile.”

Māori astronomy - Te Whānau Mārama
BODY:
"First the sun, then the moon, then the stars". Waikato University Professor Rangi Matamua shares Māori understandings of the night sky. He's curated the Waikato Museum's current exhibition Te Whānau Mārama: The Heavenly Bodies.
EXTENDED BODY:
"First the sun, then the moon, then the stars."
Next month just before dawn New Zealanders will celebrate Matariki – the Māori New Year – the rising of the star cluster known as Pleiades.
Professor Rangi Matamua is curator of a Waikato Museum exhibition about the history and meaning of Matariki - Te Whānau Mārama: The Heavenly Bodies. He shares Māori understandings of the night sky with Bryan Crump:
Read an edited snapshot of the conversation:
Tāne, the god of the forest, forced Rangi (Ranginui) the sky father and Papa (Papatuanuku) the earth mother apart. Why – having created a void between earth and sky – did Tāne then put stars in it?
Rangi: He was concerned that when he pushed Rangi and Papa apart that there was no light in the world. And this is a truncated version of the story. People say when he separated his parents light flooded into the world. Well, no. When he separated his parents it was still dark. There was no light. So he travelled to see his two siblings Tangotango and Wainui, who are the parents of Te Whānau Mārama, or the Family of Light. The children were the sun, the moon, all of the stars. Hinātore is a phosphorous light, Parikoikoi is a gloomy light, and the last child of the six was Hinerauāmoa, a petite star. He asked his siblings ‘The world is in darkness. Give me your children to adorn our father’s chest so light shines across the breast of our mother‘. They agreed, so he went through that journey to put them in the sky. That’s how Māori understand the origins of Te Whānau Mārama. Hence the name of the exhibition.
Did the stars and the moon come before the sun?
No, the sun is the oldest. The second oldest was the moon, the third was the stars. Then you have a phosphorous light, a gloomy light and a very small, petite star. Originally they were hung in the first house ever constructed on earth – a house called Hui-te-Rangiora. And Tāne took them from that house in a basket and carried them into the sky. Now, that basket where the stars were contained, it’s name was Mangaroa, or the great fish, the great shark. That’s the Māori name for the Milky Way. So when you look up into the night sky and look into the Milky Way – that massive dark pattern that runs through the middle of the sky – you’re actually looking back inside the basket and the stars are spilling on to the sides of the basket. That is looking back inside the mouth of a kete, or woven basket, that Tāne tipped upside down.
