I'm sorry, but there is just no way I would interview this little girl about the murder of her mother. Maybe when she is a lot older, probably in her 20s, but even in a couple years, the memory would just be tragic.
There are a lot of things people remember about their lives. Your first kiss, the first time you ride a bike, your WEDDING. But Jaimie Cates will probably not remember these. Instead, the memory that will remain with her forever will be the night she watched her mother get slaughtered to death by a bunch of teenage boys with nothing better to do. She is emotionally and physically scarred, and must be at a very delicate point of her life right now.
As a young child, reporters and journalists are not what she needs. She needs comfort in the arms of loved ones- friends and family. As journalists and outsiders looking in, the best thing we can do for Cates and her family is to grant them peace in their time of mourning.
