    > SABC though, 1st you interview her through her FRESH PAIN, next you ask her what kind of help she needs
    > You don't even comfort her, for you it's a job, business as usual, for her it's her PAIN & SHOCK.
    > You don't even tell us what you where the 4 children were at the time

    It is absolutely disgusting that you interviewed her. She is in shock and you are taking advantage of a vulnerable woman. Shame on you.
