A child protection group is calling for witnesses to come clean over the death of an Auckland toddler.
Two-year-old James Lawrence, known as JJ, died at his Orakei home on Monday after being struck in the stomach.
Police have been given inconsistent versions of what happened and Jigsaw CEO Liz Kinley says the sooner the truth is known the better.
“A beautiful lively looking two-year-old, and some incident that’s happened that’s obviously been severe enough to kill him in terms of the injury. So let’s hope that the police can get to the bottom of this and we can find out exactly what happened.”
Liz Kinley says lessons need to be learned from the tragedy to help prevent similar instances in the future.
