On the publication of his latest book, Darryl who is a survivor himself and NZ ambassador for both the Archangel Foundation and NAASCA (National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse), talks to local TV broadcaster Darryl Baser about how and why he continues to fight against a system he feels is ignoring the plight of children in state care.
