Most people wouldn't be indifferent to an adult in a position of authority treating a "child" that way, regardless of the child's gender. Children need protection.
I honestly see nothing to support the theory that journalists "exploited" the child's sex. Can you give some kind of examples to show how you think the story would have been different had they not been trying to "exploit" the child's sex?
