What would you say if a Sky News crew turned up on your door and called you out on some things you'd said on the internet? I doubt she was thinking straight.
No, I agree. It's very sad all round.
But nevertheless for a human to say to somebody that they're entitled to anonymously hound other humans that happen to be famous - in this case for having a (probably) dead child, for fuck's sake - for their own entertainment is something that makes me profoundly uncomfortable. No matter how put-on-the-spot you feel, you wouldn't say something like that unless you truly did feel some kind of entitlement to that behaviour.

She actually came back later and asked them in for a chat off camera where she said she hoped she hadn't broken the law and was much more contrite.
They said themselves in their own report that she wasn't the worst by far. So why did they single her out? Probably because she was the only one who they could track down somehow or the only one who was in when they called.
The Special Report in question pretty much stated that she had broken the law and was very clear that they were passing a file of evidence to the police.
The worst kind of gutter journalism. If what has happened is as it appears (it hasn't been officially confirmed yet) I hope those involved can sleep at night.
