I sort of got the impression from what was written that she thought it was obscene to want to broadcast it to the world. That the child would never recover from the publicity of it all, not necessarily from the bf. Of course she may also think that bf an 8-yo is obscene, I don't know...but that wasn't what I was reading personally in the words that were quoted. If one only talks about the issue of broadcasting this for the world to see, I can kind of see the point...I wouldn't broadcast my every meal over national TV either...not at 8 and not at 27. It's not newsworthy because everyone eats. ;-) If everyone bf 8 yo's it wouldn't be newsworthy either.
