Turangi attack: Furious public confront teen

Stuff NZ
"Outside Taupo Youth Court no-one wants to give their name, inside most names have to remain secret. Everything about the accused is suppressed except this: he is 16, a male, and will be back in this room on January 12. He does not want to apply for bail. He wears a T-shirt and has bare feet.The victim is five and foreign, her family surrounded now by an aching love that renders $52,000 and counting and more teddy bears and flowers than can be kept. She was attacked while she slept in a caravan at Turangi's Club Habitat motor camp on December 21.There is a crowd interested in the teen, too. Many are right by the side gate, bolshie and mouthy. They call him a paedophile and an animal and tell him he will be judged."
