520			_aThis article provides an update of current New Zealand law in relation to children. The author discusses the complexities of legislation pertinent to the families of two cases which received high profile media attention in 2006 and outlines New Zealand's obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCROC). The legislation discussed is the right of silence confirmed by s23(4) New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, the Care of Children Act 2004, and New Zealand Crimes Act 1961 is compared with the Crimes Act 1900 New South Wales. The author suggests current legislation requires review and consideration be given to this. Also outlined is the Parenting Hearings Programme introduced to Family Courts in November 2006.
