It seems to me that what was really going on there was right behind her, where the girl on the right is sort of flirting with the boy on the left, behind the boy who's in focus. I'm not talking about what was really going on for Leslie, I'm talking about what a journalist would notice was REALLY going on there. So I'm wondering, Leslie, did you also take photographs of those two kids smiling and laughing? >> Emily- There was actually nothing going on there but a bunch of meanness. If anything, they were about to rape her rather an innocent flirting. But what ended up happening is that she wanted to stay on the street and her aunt didn't want that. The boys took her back to her aunt who was walking up to them on the street. These are street kids that have a rough life and there isn't really that much innocent, sweet flirting going on. Things were starting to get kind of rough while I was there and one of the street kids, a boy about 16, was running his finger across his neck to me as if he wanted to slit my throat. I don't know if that is what he meant or not, but my interpreter didn't want to stay to find out.
