1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: The MATTERCOPA kids. They're now safe, they're in the hands 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: of ordering A Tamadiki, but they'll now face a lengthy 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: court and reintegration process could take years. So what do 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: we do in the meantime? Jane cele Child Matters CEO 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: with Me Live Jane, Good morning. 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 2: Good morning, Ryan. 7 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: You reckon it's time to leave this story alone. 8 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 2: I absolutely do. I think it's understandable why there's been 9 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: such a big story. But these children are not public property. 10 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: We do not have to know everything about them and 11 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: about their lives or we need to know is that 12 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: they're safe and that they're will and it's really a 13 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: question of social responsibility. 14 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 1: A lot of people on the text machine that are 15 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: fired up about this. This morning I mentioned we were 16 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: going to talk Ryan. It's healthy to debate and ask 17 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: questions for people to understand and find the truth. That 18 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: is the tenor of the text. What do you reckon? 19 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: No? I disagree. I think there's not an interest for 20 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 2: these children. They have got a lengthy reintegration into their 21 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: new reality and time to build their new lives that 22 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: will be years in the making, and so for them 23 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: to be public property or for that to be part 24 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: of a public story is not how you for those children, 25 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: and I don't think that we have a right to 26 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: that In this age of reality TV. I think sometimes 27 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 2: the boundaries get blurred, but we have to do what's 28 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: in the best interest of these children. 29 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: What's worse because people are talking about it and are 30 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: going to talk about it and will be interested in it. 31 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: Is it worse for the media to do that or 32 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: for social media to fill the void? 33 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: Well? I don't thinking stop social media, can you? I 34 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: think responsible reporting around us and I think we've sent 35 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: some good reporting is very important, but again we don't 36 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 2: need to know the details. It's not in the children's 37 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: interests after what they've been through. I don't think as 38 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: much to us that we've given some space and some 39 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 2: privacy from there on, all. 40 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: Right, Jane cel Child matters CEO For more. 41 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: From Early Edition with Ryan Bridge.
