Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Te tinihanga: Ko Melissa Whiting, 33, no Darlington, nāna i whakamahi i ngā painga kāore i te ture hei 'whatunga haumaru pūtea' i a ia e harikoa ana ki ngā hararei ki tāwāhi, me te oranga papai. Ko te whaea o nga tamariki tokotoru i whakamahi i nga painga kaore i te ture hei 'whatunga haumaru tahua' i a ia e koa ana ki nga hararei o tawahi me te whakapau nui i runga i tona kaainga i whiwhi mano mai i tana hoa rangatira, i rongo te kooti. I kii a Melissa Whiting ki nga apiha kei te noho ia anake me ana tamariki tokotoru me te whakawhiwhi i te tautoko moni, te painga o te whare me te whakahekenga taake a te kaunihera, i rongo te kooti. Engari i te mea pono, kei te noho tahi ia i tōna whare i Darlington me tana hoa rangatira a Mark Briscoe - he hōia o mua e mahi ana i te ahuru tūmataiti i te Middle East. I roto i te tau kotahi, i taea e ia te whakatakoto £9,000 ki te pūkete o tana hoa wahine 33-tau-tau - i te wā katoa e tono ana i nga painga, e whakamahi ana ia ratou hei 'whatunga haumaru pūtea'. I taea hoki e ia te utu mo nga hararei a te whanau ki Majorca me Bulgaria, tae atu ki te £ 1,000-plus sofa, pouaka whakamātao, miihini horoi, papa whenua me te ohaurunga Sky. I kitea tana tinihanga i te tau 2013, ahakoa i whakakahore ia i te tuatahi i te hononga ki a Mr Briscoe. Heoi anō, i mōhio ōna hoa noho he tokorua rātau, ā, i rongo te Kooti Karauna o Teesside kua rehitatia hoki te waka o Mr Briscoe ki te whare o Darlington, ā, i tae atu ki reira ōna reta reti mai i te hōia. I te mutunga, i whakaae a Whiting ki ngā whakapae e rua mō te kore whakamōhio i te huringa o ngā āhuatanga, ā, inanahi i whakawhiwhia ki a ia he whiu herehere e rua marama te roa. Ko te kaiwhakawa, ko te Kaihauturu a Martin Bethel, QC, i whakaahua i tana tinihanga hei 'tino nui' a i whakahaua hoki a Whiting, o Chestnut Drive, ki te utu i nga utu £ 400. Ko Penny Bottomley, i whakamārama i te marae, ko nga matua o nga tamariki tuatahi e rua a Whiting 'he iti noa iho te koha ki to ratau whakatipu.' I tāpiri atu a ia: 'Ko tana whakamārama ki te Ratonga Whakamātautau mō te haere tonu ki te tono i ngā painga, he whatunga haumaru pūtea mō a ia me ana tamariki. 'He mea mārama tērā i te mea i pau i a ia ngā tau 11 kua hipa i te whiwhi moni iti rawa mai i ō rātou pāpā. 'Kei te whakaae ia he...
I kī a Melissa Whiting he whaea kotahi ia kia whiwhi ai i ngā painga. Engari ko Whiting i te whanaungatanga ki te hoia o mua a Mark Briscoe. Ko te kaimahi haumaru tūmataiti i whakatakoto mano ki tōna pūkete. Na ka whakamahia e te whaea o te tokotoru nga painga hei 'whatunga haumaru' i a ia e whakapau nui ana. E mea ana te parepare he'matau' nā te kore o te tautoko tamariki mai i ngā pāpā.
