And so can you talk about sort of how you handled that situation?
Yeah.
Because I think like this is, this is a really interesting piece because especially, you know, for us, because, you know, these are just issues that we constantly struggle with and, you know, we're always weighing that, that,
um, you know, on balance, is this the right thing to do?
And I think, you know, obviously in our case, we're talking about people with real children that are really harming.
And so that is obviously a very strong sort of moral imperative to expose it because that is, you know, especially because it can be very hard to get anyone to intervene in these situations.
And so just at least having that person's
name out there, provides some measure of protection and kind of eyes on the child.
And that's kind of our ethos on the show.
But even with that, we're always concerned about what that exposure is going to do to the perpetrator, what effect that might have on them and the people around them and how things might just go sideways in sort of ways that we didn't
And I think one of the other things that we really worry about is just that this will put, you know, very unintentionally put scrutiny on parents who legitimately have a sick child, who are just acting weird or sort of overshare online or, you know, that kind of thing.
And so, Kia, can you tell us about, like, this instance that you had where it was โ
not not the kind of thing that you would expose, but but something very different.
Let me see if you're writing it.
If you're writing it, it's libel.
Yeah.
I mean, I, I, it's for sure something I can relate to and, you know, we don't really tend to cover cases that kind of come in off the wire as it were.
It's usually something that I have either some sort of personal or it's a big lawsuit or something that, you know, that we end up covering in depth on the show.
Um,
But certainly people send me so many cases.
