We all make mistakes when we are young, and it's really telling that the young man risked being identified by social media, and courageously admitted he made a mistake, and apologized to the reporter.

I hope the reporter will now consider the incident "water under the bridge." Live and learn I guess...

From what I posted.

"Just hearing those words, it's exactly what I wanted to hear, and in all of this, I didn't want anyone to lose their job or get a criminal record, I just want people to take a second, and just think of the impact on that person. Just because I'm standing in front of a camera doesn't mean I don't have feelings and I'm not focused and I'm not trying to be a professional," said Batchelor.
