SUCCESS: Cherie Kurarangi Sweeney has more than 10,000 friends on Facebook after going public on NZ's appalling record of child abuse.
She may not have made many friends in Ngaruawahia, but more than 10,000 people like Cherie Kurarangi Sweeney on Facebook.
Ms Sweeney has been called a nark for going public on New Zealand's appalling record of child abuse following the death of a neighbouring infant, Serenity Scott-Dinnington, earlier this year.
But she has turned the ugly label around by turning the initials into an acronym: Nation of Advocates for the Rights of Kids (Nark).
The group's Facebook page "STOP Death by Abuse of our Children" is liked by 10,241 people, among them politicians including former Maori Party MP Hone Harawira.
"This page will centre on family violence, social issues, child safety, alcohol and drugs and developing support networks in our communities to STOP the Deaths by Abuse of "OUR" Children," Ms Sweeney wrote on the page in a May 13 post.
She was humbled by the amount of support she has had.
The trust which is starting with a $345 in the coffers from public donations will advocate for the nation's children.
Ms Sweeney is establishing a Rest In Peace tab on the site, which will feature pictures of victims alongside inquest reports.
"I tried to get coroners' reports, but they told me it would be $50 per application. With 150 names that's $7500 I don't have."
While it's early days the trust will hold a meeting in Ngaruawahia later this month to draw up its mandate supporters on Facebook are brimming with ideas, including a national march to raise awareness.
"People have designed logos, a few of the MPs have decided to get in on it." Ms Sweeney said.
"I can get people together (through Facebook) who are having issues.
"There's been heaps and heaps of messages on the page. It's a very big eye-opener for me.
"A lot of it is just being able to speak up. We are setting up this Nark Trust here, in Ngaruawahia, and we have to set up a bank account."
The Nark Trust will meet at the Ngaruawahia Community House on June 27.
