One can only hope the identity of the child/informer has been completely protected. Often I'm amazed at the overzealous MSM correspondents who video interviews with subjects - Interviews which could get them killed. Often it's "I've got my story - next" with little regard for the consequences to their subjects welfare.

Awhile back there was a story of a small girl sitting in the road to block a U.S. convoy. When they stopped she pointed to the road directly behind her. They uncovered a land mine there.

After they disarmed the mine, they ran over the little girl and continued on their way. (Hey, just joking!. First paragraph was true, though.)
