A leading advocate against family violence, believes we're days away from another child being killed.

Merepeka Raukawa Tait has little hope that much will happen in the wake of an investigation into the death of Malachi Subecz.

The Tauranga five-year-old was killed by his carer just over a year ago, after a history of abuse.

A damning report into the little boy's murder identifies five critical gaps in the system and makes 14 recommendations.

They're aimed at ensuring there are interlocking safety nets in place, to make sure another child doesn't endure the same thing.

The Whanau Ora Chair told Kate Hawkesby it's just another report.

She says everyone gets sorry and sad about a child's death - but nothing really changes.
