I often think of that quote when I end a sentence with a preposition.
The
Report of the Special Committee on Moral Delinquency in Children and Adolescents, better (and more concisely) known as the Mazengarb Report, came out in 1954 in New Zealand, the result of the era's moral panic.
Two incidents triggered the enquiry and its subsequent report. One was a girl who briefly ran away from home, and reappeared with lurid accounts of children riding their bicycles to meet at milk bars (like corner shops/convenience stores) "mostly for s*x purposes".
The other incident was far more serious. It was heavily publicised at the time, but in the 1990s it was in the news again (not just in New Zealand), and in the process gave a substantial boost to several careers (including names most of you would recognise).
What was this notorious case, and why did it reach the news again in the 90s?
