Mackey uploaded an update to her story last Friday (April 11) in which she addressed the most commonly asked questions by her viewers.
For instance, many of her followers felt the identities of both the boy and his father should’ve been revealed and were confused as to why the reporter chose to blur their faces.
“I’m not sure. Maybe I’m just too nice. But I assure you, if that happens again, I will not be blurring out faces,” she said.

The reporter described the experience as “violating” in an interview with Today, made worse by the tacit approval of the boy’s father.
“I waved them back. I just wanted to be able to look that father and kid in the eye and say, ‘Can you say that again to me, looking me in the eye as a human being?’” she recounted.
“But they wouldn’t come back. They just laughed and gave me a thumbs up and kept on walking.”
The reporter was able to post the clip to her social media with the full approval of her TV station

Mackey carried with her the anger of the experience for days, but it was thanks to her co-workers and social media followers that she was able to move on.
