TV takes flak over tot caseChild rights advocates on Friday called on the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to investigate two digital television channels over their coverage of the death of a three-year-old girl in Mukdahan's Dong Luang district. They pandered to superstition and went as far as presenting a medium and hinting at lottery numbers. All of this was unnecessary and irrelevant in news coverage," said Mr Natthapong. The two stations, which were unnamed by the activists, were covering the death of a toddler who disappeared from her home on May 11. Her body was found in a forest around 2km from her home on May 14.
