CBC received a copy of a cell phone video on Tuesday afternoon, just as news was breaking that two people had been stabbed at an Abbotsford high school. The video appeared to the show the incident in progress, filmed by one of the many students who witnessed it. We were extremely concerned that the people in the video were potentially minors and they were clearly in distress. In addition, it appeared the video showed both the victims and the perpetrator of a crime, which later resulted in a murder charge. We believe the video does not add to the public's understanding of the story and that broadcasting it has the potential to do more harm than good.
