Struggletown
Low income, solo parents, the benefit, state housing and troubled
kids. It all pretty well sums up the Wellington suburb of Nae
Nae.
That was until Billy Graham, an inspirational man with vision and passion, moved in with his punch bags and skipping ropes. He set up a gym and now the local kids are hooked on boxing.
Graffiti is all but eliminated, juvenile crime is down, the kids are happy and the police are happy. Billy Graham's answer to boot camps is on SUNDAY.

Regarding the son who assisted his mother to die - why was she not in a hospice where pain relief in most cases can asist one to pass away peacefully. Also Scott Sullivan - you are an amazing man and what an inspiration you are to many people fighting this disease. All the very best to you and your wonderful family Scott.

I agree with the previous comments made on the story of the couple donating embryo. It's a bit like the secret adoptions of the 1960s when the birthmother did not have any contact with the baby she gave up for adoption and the adoptive parents did not have any contact with the birthmother. The reality is this couple need to move on and accept the fact that legally they are not part of their daughters life. Sad story though.

A person requiring a donor egg is usually at their last chance to have a child. However it is their child they want, and whilst the gift of an embryo is a wonderful gesture the donor really needs to remember this. If you view the embryo as your child then dont donate, if you view it as a chance for someone else to have a child then dont put conditions on it. I believe in honesty, tell the child there was the most wonderful help in having them, but that they are most definatley their child.

What a gutsy and inspiring young man Josh Perry is. However, it is a bit disappointing that someone so inspirational expresses such superficial views as wanting a "hot blonde" girlfriend. Surely Josh himself knows what it is like for people to make superficial judgements based on appearance alone.

Hi I watched the story about the children of GI's & made me think of my family. Point of difference though is my father is the son of a New Zealander. My grandmother had an affair while he was away at war and my father was born 3 months before his return. My grandfather adopted him and he never knew his real father. I often wonder who & where my biological family is. I wonder too how many others were born under these circumstances!
