And the men that are getting abused go unmentioned because the headlines featured male perpetrators this week? I remember distinctly the statistic that Children Authority put out stated that mothers were the primary perpetrators of child abuse . Why aren't we sensitizing everyone In the home so that they are made aware that they can be both abuser and victim?

Greetings... the link I have posted above is to an Trinidad and Tobago Newsday article in which it gives the details: full name of a woman who was stabbed by a man. The article also gives her son's first name and the school he attends.
Hereby asking for your input / comment on this please. My opinion is that neither themother nor her son's name should be revealed in a newspaper article.
This is people's personal and sensitive information. This 12 year old boy can now possibly be the receiver of other kids talking about what transpired and talking about it in an insensitive manner.
The newspapers can rally for freedom of speech...but what about the right to have one's personal affairs remain private.
I sincerely hope you will at least provide a comment on this matter.
Regards
