COMMENT
There was a sad twist in the otherwise happy story of 3-year-old Axle who survived a night in the Gisborne bush alone.
Axle and his family - it transpired - were homeless earlier this
year, living in a tent.
They had been in an emergency housing motel, but it was a "bad situation with drugs and alcohol and people fighting and smashing things all the time," and Axle's mum says she didn't want her "kid around that". A tent was preferable.
