CONSTANT OBSESSION LIFTED

My earliest childhood memories are of me eating food in secret. Up until the age of twenty-three, when I came into recovery, I went to great lengths to steal money from my family, friends and neighbours to buy food.
No matter whose kitchen I was in, at any opportunity I had to be alone I would raid the cupboards and fridge. I had huge embarrassment about the way I ate, as I recognised that others didn't eat the same way.

Top brass urged to step up efforts amid crime spike

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Canterbury appears to be underserved by the police, new figures show, as suburbs in Christchurch battle spiralling crime.

Canterbury appears to be underserved by the police, new figures show, as suburbs in Christchurch battle spiralling crime.

With about 650,000 residents, Canterbury makes up about 13% of New Zealand’s population.

But the region is only home to 987 sworn officers, about 9% of the New Zealand police force. National roles, such as those in the police prosecution team, are not counted in the district numbers.

It comes as some people in Christchurch are demanding an increased police presence following a massive spike in crime in their suburb.
Thefts and burglaries in Hornby are up by more than 80% in the past year, and tired residents are calling on the region’s top officers to step in.

Residents in Hornby are petitioning the police to have their police station manned 24 hours a day following a major spike in theft and burglary.

The petition, which on Monday night was just shy of 1000 signatures, will be presented to Canterbury Metro Superintendent Lane Todd on Tuesday night at a community meeting to discuss rising levels of crime.

hi everyone
yesterday I was walking my dog in Ajax street around 2pm and suddenly a big dog cam and started snatching my dog's back in a very cruel way and my dog is a very small Chihuahua . My dog is a support dog for my disabled daughter . We were crying loudly for help . The lovely people from the area came quickly and saved my dog . The people called the police and people told the police that tis dog attacked an old man before and was scaring the neighbourhood kids . The owner knows that his dog is very dangerous but he leaves him unleashed running around the streets. I had to take my dog to the emergency after hours clinic and had lots of wounds and she was bleeding . I had to pay till now $873 . What was my fault to be exposed to this situation and me and my daughter could not sleep especially my daughter who is very close to her dog . I had my dog injured, a high bill had to pay and added to this is the anxiety and suffering of my little poor dog .
