Children, Gangs and Cherie Sweeney

NZ Public needing Answers from Cherie: 


What about these children, Cherie seems to make a mockery of the first child.

(The little boy was on her gang page along with her two other profiles pages, on Bebo). We have questioned her about this child from the beginning, however she still refuses to explain but instead makes it into some kind of game.

But what of the two older boys? Children don’t have choices, Adults do!!.

How can Cherie be an Advocate against Child Abuse, yet she holds dear to her gang? Gangs are lawless, they have their own rules. Children of Gang Members are exposed to that lifestyle, taught and grow up thinking this is normal.

During this whole saddening situation, we did eventually find out, she is indeed, currently a Mongrel Mob member and had been for many years.

Of all the attacks on our previous 7 pages, many of the NZ Public’s personal profile pages were attacked, reported etc… these were the innocent people of the NZ Public.

Some were still supporters of Cherie, but even they were attacked too. We all were asking questions out of extreme concern, but Cherie and company were and still are currently trying anything, to silence all.

If Cherie was “Helping heal the Gang from the inside,” then why did she not acknowledge this Publicly, at the beginning? The NZ Public would of understood.

But instead Cherie is so intent, on attacking anyone, who even spoke out (previously) about her and her gang and continues to do so, even today.

What of the issue of accountability as to where all monies received by Cherie and Nark are and have gone too, since its beginnings?…..NZ Public are still wanting for Answers with Evidence today…its been a year.

For some even longer….

For a person who had once said, she was very Transparent along with her “Fake” Charity, Org, Trust etc (whatever she calls it) ,we can certainly see, there has been NO Transparency of both NARK and Cherie, from the beginning.

We had also noticed an interesting spin regarding Cherie (Founder), Pete George (Political Climber) , and Roberta Karangaroa (Chair Person) of Nark, and how they were all trying to sweep this whole mess under the carpet.

Their replies were:

“Lets just focus on the Child Abuse Cause” (basically move on and not say anything more). Anyone with common-sense would realise this is a tactic used to, “Just sweep this under the Carpet” by using “Emotions” to detract from the serious issue at hand.

The NZ Public are greatly concerned with the Child Abuse Issue in NZ. We certainly wouldn't have with of been with N.A.R.K or any other Org, if we weren't very dedicated to this extremely serious issue in NZ .

Yes, we were all once very strong supporters of Cherie and N.A.R.K. but once things were not as they seemed with Cherie, N.A.R.K and the Chair Person Roberta Karangaroa its was becoming very, lets say.... Very Unprofessional!

As soon as Members started asking questions as to what is going on in the Nark Group page and receiving no evidence, we all started realizing, there was something very wrong here….. Things were also not right with the professionalism of Cherie nor that of Roberta.

Where was Cherie, when all her workers were doing the ground work?

Then after her public ”Mortgage Plea”, who did she blame, when the NZ Public were requiring answers?

She blamed her very own workers, which she was quite happy to take credit for their work, especially when she wasn't even there doing the hard Mahi.

Here is the break down of the Voxy article, posted last year for more understanding on this matter.

Cherie has said so many untruths, her credibility is greatly questionable.

The link Transcript of what happened that night is on our blog here. Members were threatened with defamation, if anyone spoke out about this, also members were being deleted for requiring answers. Some of the members who were not on line that evening were deleted too. Very usual.

This is a serious issue that the NZ Public will not be silent on.

Will we ever know what happened to these children, or if they will get help? 

Post from our page below:  

Ms Cherie (What ever you name is?) Can you please confirm who this child is in the picture?

  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? I think Cherie can explain this.....
  • Cherie Kurarangi From-Nark Explain what?? I dont know these kids BUT Im gonna find out... like wtf? Where did you get photos from? I know you dont have the balls to hit them up about it BUT I DO
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? No profanities please Ms Cherie Nark, they are from the Napier Chapter. You know this. Yet you and your husband are still affiliated with the Mob and yet you proclaim your against child abuse? Which is it Ms Cherie? You happily turn a blind eye to children who are exposed to what these children have been exposed too (hence the photo) . Yet you are standing against abuse of children? Please Answer honestly Cherie, because we know your children are (with evidence) exposed too and growing up in the gang culture that you hold so dear too. Which one is it??
  • Mack Gemmell This irritates me. I am gang affiliated, but im not in a gang, so does that make me a bad person? No! Im engaged and have a son (whom i dont abuse) have never been to jail or had any criminal convictions and work my arse off to get what i want. Dont be so quick to judge.
  • Cherie Kurarangi From-Nark Napier aye? maybe they live by ol Princess Mandula then. My whole family are Mob affiliated yet here I am not abusing my kids or letting it happen to others, I actually do something about it, not sit on a computer and complain and try to make someone else feel like crap. My Family are Gang affiliated with 4 different gangs yet my kids are very happy loved and successful kids Im proud of my daughter at 16 will be doing some university papers while completing her level 3 ncea. nobody turns a blind eye unless you count this page that rants about it but does nothing
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? Thank you Mack Gemmell again for your message. This issue however lays with MsCherie Nark. The NZ Public have been waiting for answers with proof from her for nearly a whole year now. Our questions are in our notes. Ms Cherie, question time for you: What have you actually done about abused children apart from being the "face",gallivant around attending hui's, media etc.... How is that helping children in great need of help? Why have there been no accountability of where any monies have gone too? When money first started coming in, Why did you not set up the trust account properly regarding your fake N.A.R.K Org, trust or other? Why do you take credit for others hard work? Again we ask, What abused child or family have you helped directly? Why do you continually lie? The NZ Public can't believe anything you say anymore, which reflects badly on your fake Org. Please don't bring your family into this, as they aren't the ones who used Child Abuse for their personal gain, you did. What do you actually do Ms Cherie?
  • Cherie Kurarangi From-Nark What a load of bollocks, you sound like a broken record even when you have your "answers" why dont you actually check out what I am doing instead of assuming, This page is a fake page, full of likes from your fake various names you create.

    Just a message from Kiwilaw Advocates Ltd for the NZ Public:
    She will be taking a break for rest. 

    Kiwilaw Advocates Ltd

    I am feeling so guilty because I haven't finished that yet, and it's entirely my responsibility, not Cherie's. We (Kiwilaw) had a setback at the end of last year when we almost negotiated a resolution with the Ministry of Justice about reinstatement as a legal-aid provider, and then the agreement fell through at the last minute. Mid January we reached agreement again and then it didn't work either. Each setback meant a drop in energy (and also the need to put more time into those issues instead of finishing off this work for you and Cherie). Finally the legal-aid provider approval is in place, and THAT has meant more distraction because of having to redo paperwork and inform clients. (You'll note that we haven't even put a notification on Facebook about it - that's a comment on the energy levels and the juggling at present). Oh yes, and the diary was thrown into chaos after a 5-minute judicial conference turned into 2 days (Judge Cocurullo does that sometimes). And I have a sudden cluster of court deadlines this week. I was going to spend tomorrow (Anniversary Day) catching up, but I've decided I need to take time for myself and so I'm not going to spend it working. (Right now, it's 11 pm and I'm about to email submissions to Wellington that were due on Friday. That's quite enough, for now.)

  • Nikolasa Biasiny-Tule I'm sorry, but the fact that Cherie is using money to promote a message (what you call galavanting) that is VERY new in many whanau and critical to ending violence against children (i.e. that narking is ok and to do it) doesn't bother me at all, if her charity's aim is raise awareness and she is making her way around the country doing this (regardless of that fact that she has something to do with a gang - sorry what whanau doesn't! Nothing you said has me concerned AT ALL - plus YOU HIDE, we don't know who you are or what your agenda is.
  • Nikolasa Biasiny-Tule oh AND - you ask "why didn't she do A, B, C" IF this is the case it may be because it's ALL NEW, setting up an organisation is insanely complicated (and to be fair, I don't thinkCherie (correct me if I'm wrong) knew in the beginning how big it would become) we started our business years ago and know how damn hard it is to organise while working 24/7. she has stood up and done something that few have done before, incredibly admirable in my eyes - you are just a hater with far too much time on your hands.
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? Please read our blog, I am sure she is quite familiar with the works and knowledge of Charities. Along with her helper or Aunty Roberta.
  • Jay Walker Pretty sad post pics of children that are not yours as a parent i'd be horrified to see my children pics uses on a hate page
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? No Jay Walker quite disturbing is the term and this is what Cherie Kurarangi From-Nark is quite familiar with. Especially when she has had a long history with the gang and is still a current member. Is this Child Abuse Cherie? Or doesn't it apply with your commitment with your gang? That is disturbing, and these children along with many others are taught that this normal. This is their upbringing. Its all they know, Cherie knows this.
  • Nikolasa Biasiny-Tule I've reported the photo. Regardless of your reasons, it's not on to post photos of children who aren't yours AND when you have not been given explicit permission to do so. @Jay I suggest you do the same.
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? Ms Cherie Kurarangi From-Nark did you find out who these children are? This is abuse of children and needs to be addressed please.
  • Parents who are abused by children I agree this is abuse and who ever aloud these children to be holding guns and patched has to have serious mental health issues. Shame Cyfs has not stepped up on this one.
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? Thank you and welcome to our page Parents who are abused by children Facebook. We are glad that you can see this too. We encourage anyone and everyone to report this authorities and please help these children. These children still have hope and this is a major concern. Thank you greatfully.

Does that help? Whaea Tia knew my older brother so probly thought I had Tahuparae in my name? Anyway I helped and wrote her an affidavit and helped to get her a parenting order sorted from Family Court - and how did I do that ???? dunno but I taught myself using websites on family and Family Court  So yes very pro-active am I
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? Hello Cherie Nark, long time no contact. So are you married to Mike, as you previously stated? Your quite Pro- Active indeed, which brings us to another issue....Its been almost a whole year and the NZ Public are still awaiting evidenced answers and proof from you and your "Unregistered Org, Charity, Trust or whatever you prefer to call it". When will we get clarification on that please? What has happened to your "Pro Bono" Lawyer Ms Sheryl? Is she still depressed and in capable of fulfilling her duties, on your behalf? When will we get word from her? Although I do have concerns regarding her professionalism, but I guess that's what you get when you don't have to pay for one perhaps.... Oh one more thing, and this is the most important question, What child or family have you directly helped through your fake Org?
  • Cherie Kurarangi From-Nark Ive done my part to contributing all nark documents to hold my head up high. But unless you yourself have done anything that has really helped another, and this aint it, then you really have no place to ask anything of me, you have been given answers that are real, and for you to put another down when they only wish to help and support shows the 20 of you are not really achieving what you hoped to do - and that was bring me down. Thanks to your put downs of a another, I wont reply to this page or it "members" anymore, its obviously hopeless, you will never be happy, I dont think that about all your members just the viscious ones lols PS and this is the most important statement I will not be breaching anyones privacy for you or anyone unless they say its ok. Bye
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? We aren't the ones Ms Cherie Nark (whatever your first, middle, last name is), that have and are still using abused children for a profit/ income/wage/ media lime light/attention seeking and self serving purposes as yourself. 

    Thats all you Lady!! If you can hold your head up high about that, well its best you get your head out of the clouds and step into the real world lady. Your a great manipulator, I give you that, for your great "victim" performance you use so often, its just as predicable as your many alias names lol. While your trying to grasp what spotlight you think you have left, you can be assured the NZ Public will oppose you and your "fake Org" future endeavours. 

    If your not concerned with the numbers on this page Ms Cherie (Whatever your last name is) why are you even bothered coming on here or looking at our page lol? Such a drama queen lady. 

    Well that's the respect we get from Ms Cherie, NZ Public!!. As long as you give her money, she's an angel but once you start to query her as to where the money is and has been going too? Then out come her threats, abuse oh and defamation suits lol. 

    Good Grief Cherie, you and your husband need to get a real job and stop bludging off the NZ Public for your "extravagant lifestyle'. By the way, have some respect and stop wearing your gang colours especially at events, totally disgraceful. 

    Please get some help lady, for your compulsive lying habit, we've had so many "Nek Minnet moments" regarding your answers with NO proof its getting quite ridiculous. Now this may be a shock to you Ms Cherie but the Child Abuse issue in NZ, is actually NOT ABOUT YOU. 

    The real victims are those children and you are (and have been) trying to cash in on, just like your community noticed from the beginning. Disgraceful!! Now, that you made it public for want of money and the NZ Public have given money freely and from their hearts around NZ, this makes it a National Issue regarding what you have been doing and trying to do. 

    Find another way to make your money, better still and YES!! (I shall repeat this again), this may be a REAL shock for you and your husband but get a JOB. It's sounds like a strange concept but YES!! it actually helps you pay your bills etc....

    Marvellous what a good hard day at Mahi does!! Now that's REAL Mana!! Kia Ora!! 
  • Transparency NZ Katherine Raue Mahi like establishing and maintaining Let's Get Growing NZ FOCKCer community gardens! Providing REAL kai for the kids - you can hold our head up can you? After spending all the NARK money on yourself and your hare brained "NARK t shirt" scheme - ignoring the fact that the whole NARK message is in direct contradiction to the fact that the dysfunctional police and so called community agencies are the worst offenders - and nothing is being done about it and the offenders are being promoted! 

    You spent the money on yourself - your food, your accommodation, travel, your bills, buyuing yourself a computer so you could spread your silly little facebook message and indulge in your shameless, narcissistic self promotion - get a REAL job!
  • Cherie Kurarangi From-Nark Arent you a 1 man band with your Fockers Kate? who else is in Fockers in Carterton??
  • Mischeski Theresa so cheree what happened to the help pay your mortage page?and did your mortage get paid?dam wish someone would pay mine 
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? And strangely they (Cherie and Partner) were able to get their personal business up and running the month before. Very unusual, but still no answers from Cherie again. No surprises there though 
  • Mischeski Theresa awaiting reply re they Facebook' pay your mortgages page cheree??????
  • Who is Cherie Sweeney from NARK.Org.nz? Would you mindMischeski Theresa if I posted your question on our page? Although you will be waiting like we have (nearly a year) but worth a try I guess. Just be prepared she my say you are not the public of NZ. She always uses that to detract from the issue.




Hello NZ Public, so just reposting a conversation last night with Cherie who graced us with her presence last night.... Post as follows or on the link under this:
