She died as a result of brain injuries.
This is what police have said
regarding six-month-old Serenity-Jay Scott
who died at Auckland's Starship Children's Hospital last week.
Serenity-Jay Scott was abused in the home of her mother Chelsea Scott
and her partner Matthew Ellery, in Ngaruawahia
A group wanting justice.
This is Serenity's grandmother expressing her thoughts
on the death of her grandchild.
After witnessing her birth six months ago, she has died.
Serenity was living here
with her mother Chelsea and partner Mathew Ellery.
Serenity was rushed to the hospital and life support later turned off.
Following the release of the coroner's report
police have said that Serenity was a victim of abuse
and the community is now asking why this has happened.
A horrified member of the Ngaruawahia community
wants her community to learn from this tragic incident.
Although Cherie's home was vandalised,
she will stick to her guns.
We were shocked by this. We don't condone this behaviour.
We will never support this behaviour.
It is now up to the community to support this woman
as she encourages Maori to speak out against violence in the community
after this has happened to one of their own.
