I didn't make a comparison. I said they would be interviewed by police and possibly media, in both cases with permission of the parents.

Doesn't make it the right call or the wrong call, but if they're okay with their children commenting, I have no problem with the mike coming in.

If parents provide the permission, the media are on the right side of the ethical barrier for sure.

Do not take the above as myself councilling that parents SHOULD provide that permission. That's a different conversation.
