New Zealand apologizes to children in bush with fugitive father
New Zealand authorities have apologized to the three children of Tom Phillips, who disappeared with their father and lived in isolated bush camps for nearly four years until his death in a police shootout.

The government acknowledged these failings and expressed regret for the children’s suffering during their time in squalid conditions.
