Stop the Interviewing of Traumatized Children!

Traumatized children are not entertainment. They're not even "news". Urge the local and national media to end the practice of interviewing children at crime scenes today.

Why is this important?

The news is flooded, today and other days, with news of school shootings and violence. While many want to know the relevant facts, the practice of interviewing children on camera is unethical and lacking in integrity. These interviews are re-traumatizing and exploitative of children for purposes of "entertainment". Urge the news media, both local and national, to stop this practice of interviewing children at crime scenes.
