STOP Death by Abuse of OUR Children

 

 

Welcome To N.A.R.K.

"Nation of Advocates for the Rights of Kids"

 

"Our mission is to raise awareness of child abuse
in New Zealand and what you can do to help
prevent this in your community"

 

N.A.R.K. was founded by Cherie Kurarangi Sweeney after being branded a ‘nark’ for speaking to police about the death of Ngaruawahia baby Serenity Scott-Dinnington. Cherie turned this label around into the Nation of Advocates for the Rights of Kids and that is a label she wears proudly! She started a facebook page, STOP Death by Abuse of OUR Children to raise awareness of New Zealand’s horrifying abuse record, put an end to the anti-nark culture and highlight what you can do in your community. Within a short time 11,000 people joined her campaign from mums and dads to politicians. Find out more..........

So how can we change this? By joining us in becoming a N.A.R.K.  

In New Zealand 10 children die every year by the hands of the people that are supposed to love them the most. Thousands more are confirmed to be suffering from abuse every year. It is our nation’s greatest shame. Find out how to support NARK click here..... NARK ANGELS Here you will find all the reasons why we do what we do, sadly this is a list of all the children who have died at the hands of those who were supposed to love them the most ...... they are our NARK angels

Update of Mr Pete George: Sep 20, 2013   Mayoral Profile Page Makes sense now!     Cherie was quite adamant on making profit from the very beginning.  Sadly quite the opportunist, that woman.    To the many good people who did the hard work, put in the long hours and organized  within Nark as (Cherie and Roberta where never there to help),  you should be commended congratulated on all your efforts and  on your truly wonderful "mana" in helping address the Child abuse issue in NZ.  You put all your hearts into it and you did wonderful work.   These good people (not knowing who Cherie really was/is), were greatly mistreated and threatened, continuously bullied, and accused of things (they never did) by the these two opportunist  women Cherie and Ms Roberta Karangaroa.    Its quite deplorable and saddening how the good people were treated.   The unprofessional behaviour of both these woman is a disgrace, but then at the end of the day it was always about Profiteering and Media exposure with them.    What ever became of the good people who left Nark.Org.Nz after the walkout in January 2012? (a large portion of the Nark.org.nz board and those who were members of the Org).   They have gone onto   establish their own Registered Children's Charities in NZ and have great support all around the country. They continue to this day, that is true Mana, a lovely group of people.   What happened after the walkout regarding Cherie, Roberta and Pete George and the Nark.Org.NZ fiasco?   Nothing.   No registration, no evidence of helping the Child Abuse issue, no evidence of anything  for that matter.

It seems when they were exposed as to their true agenda, (Profiting) they suddenly vanished.  For a founder who is on a "Mission" to raise awareness of child abuse
in New Zealand, there has been nothing forthcoming from either the Nark Org or that of its founder....... Ms Cherie and Roberta were certainly on a mission, a mission of lies and scamming and ripping off the Public of NZ.



On a different note, Ms Cherie Sweeney sent us a lovely message via email, seems to still be using her Mobster Email address "maorified" to this day......

Dated: Aug 12, 2013 at 5:32 PM and Nov 5, 2013 at 11:29 PM

So apparently many people are helping Cherie Sweeney with her business and her Nark Cause, would love to see that evidence Ms Sweeney, I doubt any would. And yet again she plays the "victim" role as so many times in the past. Sorry Ms Cherie Sweeney and Ms Roberta Karangaroa YOU have been found out!

This is to keep all aware, that scams are quite prevalent in NZ.  Please ensure that when you give your money to a cause, make sure it is registered and get receipts. 

 Also do a background check of the Charity and founder if your not sure.  There are many people out there like Ms Cherie Sweeney and Ms Roberta Karangaroa who are willing to take your hard earned cash and will never leave a paper trail.  These people are opportunists, they get everyone else to do the hard yards while they sit back and reap the benefits (in this case money and publicity) and its you who are directly paying for their "lavish" lifestyles. 

Make sure you know where your money is going too, and please be vigilant about these kind of scams around NZ.

NARK Smear campaign takes to Facebook

By DigitalMaori on February 1, 2013

N.A.R.K. was founded by Cherie Kurarangi Sweeney after being branded a ‘nark’ for speaking to police about the death of Ngaruawahia baby Serenity Scott-Dinnington. Cherie turned this label around into the Nation of Advocates for the Rights of Kids.

The following is a media release from the organisation.

Nark wishes to clarify that concerns about financial management of the group, soon to file for charitable status are unfounded. Rumors of scamming stem from teething problems within the group that came to a head with a walk out by one faction of volunteers but no monies are unaccounted for.

Reimbursement had been sought for t-shirts allegedly ordered but no-one could produce so much as an invoice or receipt for said items.

The Founder Mrs Sweeney says she couldn’t find one shop carrying an order for Nark logo t-shirts after e-mailing all printers, so the request for “reimbursement” for alleged personal outgoings for t-shirts of which there was no proof of existence from the former Treasurer requesting recompense was denied by the Interim Board. As was a volunteers request for some form of wage well before that was viable or NARK a registered entity.

The former Treasurer’s complaints to the Herald this past weekend are invalid – the Board exercised diligence in requiring accountability.

Nark acknowledges public concern over our Founders appeal on Facebook (reproduced in Trade Me by another well meaning person) to help her to prevent a mortgagee sale of her house, by gifting to her $2 – only if they could afford it. Her ability to meet payments was affected by the onset of epilepsy in August 2010, which wasn’t stabilised until October.

Although the mortgage appeal was a personal matter whereby Cherie had requested help from “only my friends and family and no-one else” Mrs Sweeney regrets any negative fall out this may have had on the organization (which had no prior knowledge of her appeal). “I acted on a suggestion from the budget advisory service to ask for help, and was desperate to safe guard the future of my Whanau”.

NARK’s Interim Board is dismayed that this matter has been jumped upon by an internet based gang to spearhead a campaign to smear this young role models good name, and to discredit the reputation of her fledgling organization – the Nation of Advocates for Rights of Kids (NARK).

Inaccurate reports about NARK’s finances are rife on the internet lately. The harassment has culminated in a particularly vicious and possibly defamatory blog write up by Ms Raue (Transparency NZ).

The blog titled “nark-what-kind-of-organisation-is-this” is rich on casting rumor based aspersions. Ms Raue plays Judge, Jury and Executioner in publishing this rubbish; “if you question Ms Cherie Sweeney she responds not with answers, but with malicious lies. How interesting. This is starting to look like fraud, or the best case scenario – major incompetence? Cherie is a fraud? Cherie is trying to get her snout in the trough…” It disregards all the facts Mrs Sweeney and the Nark board have tirelessly supplied on demand.

As published by Stuff last week Mrs Sweeney has never had any of the Public’s contributions to Nark in her personal account, nor did she ever make unauthorized use of it for issues unrelated to critical tasks for the running of the group. Nark funds were used judiciously by her with Board approval to attend one Hui with Dr Russell Wills for the consultation and Submission on the green paper and related community matters.

The interim board has seen no evidence of dishonest practices by Mrs Sweeney, and is concerned the witch hunt in motion could unfairly erode support, just as Nark adds finishing touches to a Constitution that will take the campaign to the next level and shortly enable Charities Commission registration. “The balance sheet balances, our income has not been large so any discrepancies would leap out but nothing does – there was no great t-shirt robbery” says Mrs Sweeney.

Regarding the non provision of 9 total t-shirt orders actually paid for by supporters out of a list of 29 interested parties, but not supplied with them (due to minimum order numbers for print runs being unmet), Mrs Sweeney personally saw to it that all buyers were offered and given refunds out of the $529 that others had collected once it was retrieved from volunteers personal accounts and put in Narks new CTU one. Accounts show this was sorted within about a month with four of the disappointed buyers up-taking the offer and the remainder leaving funds in as donations.

Katrina Crews, one former volunteer directly involved with the project, has publicly stated that “AT NO TIME did Cherie have access to those (t-shirt) funds donated to the nark interim account. She did not misuse those funds.” (posted to Cherie Nark NZ Show Us the Money Facebook Page). There was no great t-shirt robbery, the Board can assure the Public.

To address many murmurings about Nark funds going into multiple accounts, the monies for these t-shirts were moved about a bit prior to refund, and placed in a couple of volunteers personal accounts who went ahead and set up temporary accounts without even being requested to do so, as different people took over the t-shirt project from one another, only because NARK had not evolved an organizational or Governance structure as quickly as the community had rallied to support it.

It was not Mrs Sweeney who came up with several initial fundraising ideas nor who set up the Give a Little page,”I just accepted the help offered from all directions, and it has been a big learning curve”. NARK had no official NZCU bank account at that time and things happened on an ad hoc informal basis, so naturally there were no monthly account statements or balance sheets collated as a matter of course early on.

Narks board was able to acquire from those volunteers banking early Nark funds their personal statements detailing amounts collected from Westpac Glen Eden account of first funds banker, the National Bank Stratford account of appointed Treasurer who took over banking role as well as the financial summaries from the net fundraising site Give a Little.

To avoid repeats of responsibility being everywhere and nowhere (such as with the t-shirt debacle) an account specifically for NARK and under control of an elected Treasurer was thereafter opened.

Bank Statements show deposits from funds raised at the Toy Memorial Day totaling $873, all accounted for. So what other funds has NARK collected that may have been fraudulently siphoned off by a baby exploiting founder? The minutes taken at a meeting 19.09,2011 with Cherie Sweeney and four other Officers/volunteers present mention that monies (which remain untouched) had been accumulating at the give-a-little site web site (Weekly report on NARK week ending 17,09,2011). A BBQ fundraiser idea was floated with two Nark members keen to run them (not Sweeney).

The funds raised at one of these BBQs were stolen from the bag of an organizers friend so they were never received by Nark or Mrs Sweeney. Police said they were powerless, given that there was no such legal entity as NARK due to lack of registration with the charities commission, it was a civil matter. Nark could not responsibly fritter funds pursuing it.

This incident (atop other difficulties getting volunteers to properly apply collected funds e.g. to buy/supply t-shirts as promised) has strengthened the interim boards resolve to register as a charity as soon as is practicable. In the meantime the Public can be assured that Nark operates as per usual protocols for any Trust, with elected Officers, and proper book keeping.

Nark now has an interim board committed to best governance practices that will continue to champion the rights of children.

Nark’s founder wishes to acknowledge the board and others who have given her support in helping to bring these matters to a close.

No, I don't think more people should be like Cherie Sweeney!

Why have we created this blog?.

To show NZ what is prevalent in some unregistered NZ Charities today. Although, Nark.Org.NZ is not anything and never has been under any representation whilst they still continue to advertise on line for donations. 

This is a story about a women, who began a career of scamming, manipulating and pleading with people for money. She has also, had a long history of running fundraising events and very experienced in the Media. She has worked often with Ms Roberta Karangaroa of the Riverslea Community Trust, Hastings.

 Although these two individuals have been skimming money from NZ people for many years, they have not actually broken any laws (as yet). 

 Why? 

Because there is no accountability legally for donations given in fundraising, events or other. These one off fundraisers really do make a lot of money, for the people who run them.

Cherie Kurarangi Sweeney as most of NZ knows her, is a wonderful women standing up, against abuse of children in NZ.  She had done many media interviews, photographs, promotional work etc.  Very pro-active in that sense.  

But, is she really there for the kids?  Lets begin with why we are here, NZ has been scammed in a big way from this women.  

Members in the NARK private group, where concerned on the night of the 8th Jan 2012.  Why? 

Missing money was revealed by the board and T shirts, also most of the board members had left that evening.  Team members were very distressed by this and asked questions.  There was no clarification, to what was going on by either, Roberta (Chairperson) of NARK or the founder Cherie.  Team members were starting to be removed due to simply asking questions of what was going on.  Roberta and Cherie did everything to avoid straight answers and began attacking members of being abusive and warned us of defamation if we alerted the media etc.  


Warning bells started ringing for most and then members where being swiftly removed from the group for no reason.  We received no answers, we waited, until we decided to start a Facebook page called: Cherie Nark NZ (Show NZ The Money!), we weren't going to be bullied for wanting answers.   We had been removed twice, we are now on our third page.  We have had our Facebook accounts attacked and also pictures of evidence removed from our page.  We still added them back.  

Ms Sweeney and company had been trying to cover up certain things, and NZ have the right to know why.  

Photo taken at Cherie and Micheal's house after the Toy Event.

There was no accountability from funds, during the Toy Event, donations were being used for Ms Sweeney's personal provisions. And toys that were picked up by Ms Sweeney and her husband, after the Toy Event were not delivered, to the Salvation Army in Hamilton.  We are still currently waiting on information regarding this and the "Mortgage Plea" from the Salvation Army.  She did take them home, in fact she even took pic's of them on her daughters bed.  Once questions of these missing toys were being asked, Ms Sweeney again swiftly removed any evidence on her page. 

I know you this is shocking, we certainly didn't expect to find the evidence of certain discrepancies with NARK.


But this has happened and the generous people, who donated from the kindness of their hearts to the cause, have been used by this fake Org and the founder Ms Cherie Sweeney.  Who is she? Please brace yourself...

Nark founder accused of using charity funds

UNDER SUSPICION: Cherie Kurarangi Sweeney

A woman who was branded a "nark" for speaking out against child abuse has been accused of using the charity she founded for personal gain.

But Cherie Kurarangi Sweeney denies the allegations, saying her "haters" have no evidence to support their claims.

Mrs Sweeney became a leader in the fight against child abuse after she spoke to police investigating the death of Ngaruawahia infant Serenity Jay Scott in April last year.

She founded Nark – Nation of Advocates for the Rights of Kids – and generated widespread media coverage.

However, Ngaruawahia residents have questioned her motives, and a Facebook group – Cherie Nark NZ (Show NZ the Money!) – accuses her of misusing Nark donations.

"When I started out with Nark I knew I was going to ruffle a few feathers but I didn't think I'd be attacked personally by people over false crap and accusations," Mrs Sweeney told the Times. "I'm not going to be bullied ... though."

On February 15, she made a plea to her supporters on Facebook for money. She wrote that she suffered severe seizures and epilepsy, had been made redundant, and her driver licence had been suspended. Her husband was off work due to illness.

She said she was $3500 in arrears on her mortgage and Westpac Bank had demanded she pay immediately. She claimed it was "impossible" for her to make the payment and asked for help "before me and my children lose our home".

"I know I have done a lot for the community via my campaign against child abuse," she posted. "But this means nothing to the bank, as it does not pay the bills."

She said that if every friend and supporter donated two dollars her family "would be saved", and she provided a bank account number for deposits.

A document provided by Mrs Sweeney showed $4229.51 was raised on the day she appealed for help, including a one-off donation of $3481. On February 16, she deposited $4181 into a Westpac bank account, which she said was to cover her mortgage, and the plea for money was personal and not associated with Nark.

But her critics are concerned she is benefiting from donations that should be going to the charity.

"I know for a fact that I'm not conning anyone," Mrs Sweeney said. "I've never had any of the Nark money into any personal account of my own."

According to a Nark financial statement, it had received $5370.26. But she said none had yet been spent.

A former supporter, who asked not to be named, said the public had a right to know where donations were being spent.Mrs Sweeney said she used Nark money to pay her personal internet connection, which was agreed to by Nark members. A financial statement showed at least $578 had been spent on her Telecom internet bill.

Nark is not an official charity, but Mrs Sweeney said she was trying to have it registered with the Charities Commission.

Commission spokeswoman Sandra Bennett could not comment on whether any complaints had been lodged about Nark or Mrs Sweeney.

"Haters" says Cherie Sweeney, because the Public are concerned, and wanting answers?

Reflecting back on the first article, we were quite surprised at the term "haters" being used in such a derogatory term for the Public.

Lets break this article down, so we can get a clear picture:

(From the article:  http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6516915/Nark-founder-accused-of-using-charity-funds)

......."But Cherie Kurarangi Sweeney denies the allegations, saying her "haters" have no evidence to support their claims." 

We responded on our page:

Haters response 3/3/2012 on Sunday, 4 March 2012 at 11:49 ·

Cherie Nark NZ (Show NZ the Money!)

In response of Cherie calling us "Haters" I would like to rectify that. We are wanting answers (and proof), we have the right to know where our money has gone too. Labeling us "Haters" (people who have donated greatly to NARK) for wanting answers by Cherie, is very unprofessional, and an avoidance of the issue.  Like ·  · Share · 21 hours ago ·

• •  How can you be labelled a hater for asking questions? Surely asking questions shows you care rather than just mouthing off without knowing the facts. Answers to the questions would stop all of this as Cherie, Roberta and team, supposedly bright folk should know.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our only concerns were why, we never were given evidence or answers, regarding the missing monies from Nark.Org. Also why were people being removed for asking simple questions, then being accused of being abusive and we were all threatened with defamation if we spoke about this to media. 

As stated before, people were being swiftly removed, some Nark team members were not online that night, but they too were removed. We never heard anything from Nark or Cherie until the Media got wind of it and this is her first public response to NZ regarding our concerns.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some discrepancies here?

February the 15th, was the "Mortgage Event" correct.  She may certainly have seizures, epilepsy etc.  What struck us, was that she said her husband, was off work due to illness..... 

This is also a post from Mr Sweeney aka Wave Kuri Toa, from our Facebook page:

(He is also speaking with his sister here, which Ms Sweeney had accused of her of starting the Public Facebook Page.)

He also said he was ill, and he had to be cleared by a doctor to work. These pictures were taken a few days later, after the "Plea" at the Tainui Games 17th-19th February 2012. Here is Mr Sweeney with Vic Tamati.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is correct, as we see on the "Mortgage Plea" Post link: 

http://nzuncovered.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/mortgage-plea-15th-february-2012.html

...I know I have done a lot for the community via my campaign against Child Abuse but this means nothing to the Bank , as it does not pay the bills....

The highlighted section above shows that, she did in fact use her public position to help her with her "Mortgage Plea" that night. When questions were being asked as to, if there could be some kind of money transaction transparency, as to the money actually going toward the Mortgage, Ms Sweeney said she will post verification. 

 The only thing she gave for Transparency was a "manipulated"  transaction sheet of monies, going into her personal account but nothing to prove it actually went on the mortgage.

.We have received no evidence of these figures, only what she is saying. We are still waiting for proof on these figures, my next post will show what "evidence" they did decide to come up with. Prepare to be shocked.

From the Article:

....Nark is not an official charity, but Mrs Sweeney said she was trying to have it registered with the Charities Commission.

But Ms Cherie Sweeney happily advertised that is was under the "Charity Trust" Identity, to make her Org sound more legit.

http://nzuncovered.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/is-narkorgnz-charitable-trust-or-not.html

As we see on this link ^^^^ its certainly false advertising, for people who are not aware of this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fact: N.A.R.K isn't under any representation, not a Charity, Charity Trust or under any Identity.
