• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The MATTERCOPA kids. They're now safe, they're in the hands
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: of ordering A Tamadiki, but they'll now face a lengthy
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: court and reintegration process could take years. So what do
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we do in the meantime? Jane cele Child Matters CEO
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: with Me Live Jane, Good morning.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Ryan.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: You reckon it's time to leave this story alone.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I absolutely do. I think it's understandable why there's been
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: such a big story. But these children are not public property.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: We do not have to know everything about them and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: about their lives or we need to know is that
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: they're safe and that they're will and it's really a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: question of social responsibility.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: A lot of people on the text machine that are
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: fired up about this. This morning I mentioned we were
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: going to talk Ryan. It's healthy to debate and ask
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: questions for people to understand and find the truth. That
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is the tenor of the text. What do you reckon?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: No? I disagree. I think there's not an interest for
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: these children. They have got a lengthy reintegration into their
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: new reality and time to build their new lives that
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: will be years in the making, and so for them
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to be public property or for that to be part
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of a public story is not how you for those children,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and I don't think that we have a right to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: that In this age of reality TV. I think sometimes
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the boundaries get blurred, but we have to do what's
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: in the best interest of these children.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: What's worse because people are talking about it and are
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: going to talk about it and will be interested in it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Is it worse for the media to do that or
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: for social media to fill the void?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Well? I don't thinking stop social media, can you? I
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: think responsible reporting around us and I think we've sent
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: some good reporting is very important, but again we don't
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: need to know the details. It's not in the children's
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: interests after what they've been through. I don't think as
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: much to us that we've given some space and some
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: privacy from there on, all.
• 1:37
