A youth advisory panel that advocates for the children of incarcerated parents has urged the government to make legislative change after Malachi Subecz's murder at the hands of his carer while his mother was imprisoned.
Pillars - Ka Pou Whakahou - says the lack of support for children of prisoners means they are likely to experience abuse, trauma and intergenerational harm.
Pillars senior mentoring coordinator Corrina Thompson spoke to Corin Dann.
