Radio abuse

Today I was listening to a radio interview with a 6 year old child who was abused by his stepfather. I swear to God that the psychological torture that the child was subjected to by the interviewer was by all means worse than all the cigarette burns and the beatings that he endured from his stepfather. "Where did he burn you? show me. where? on the zizi (baby penis)?", the stupid interviewer was harassing the child and the latter obviously did not want to answer any of his questions. "How did he beat you? where did he tie you up? did you sleep in his room? where was your mother? did she try to stop him from beating you?", the interviewer went on and on with his baby tone questions. The child only said "no." Happy to have finally received an answer, the interviewer goes on: "why didn't she try to do anything? tell me, tell me, show me the burn, I will get you a nice car!." I swear to God that brand-new curses started rushing to my mind and for the first time I felt like calling a radio station.

  1. Heard it as well. What can you expect from them... i mean they lack they basic child psy101. i feel sorry for the boy, and angry at whomever made him do it.

  2. You should send a short piece on this to Al-Akhbar's culture section, Ms. E.

  3. Is it a Lebanese radio station? I saw something similar on an American TV station years ago.

  4. As'ad it was Nidal Al Ahmadiyeh's Al Jaras radio station that also proudly got the exclusivity to air that song by Mhmd Iskandar! Lame Toni Khalifeh on New TV also aired a much worse interview with the boy and the mother. Toni Khalifeh is the worst TV presenter I have ever seen.
