I saw some of this story yesterday on the news, it caught my interest when the nine reporter interviewed a 37 year old grandmother. When reading this article, some points jump off the page as well:
- Family of 17
- A group of her brothers… went hunting for the person they believed responsible
- The teenagers boyfriend… went to help his cousin
I think this is a case of the media presenting this story a little tongue in cheek. Some of these details didn’t need to be included in the article, but they were. I guess it depends on what you quantify as ‘editorial authority’ to report the details of the story, but even so, some of these details are a little damning.
Really though, doesn’t this article make you reflect on some of the social problems that exist within Sydney today. Whilst probably not ghettos, this isn’t a very healthy environment for people to be living in.
Can you believe it's 2009 as well??? Crazy!
