A girl scout leaders guide

I want to spend some time venting because of a news item that was on Good Morning America.  A woman and her husband apparently kidnapped a 17 year old boy.  Now that is awful but instead of describing the woman by what she did or her age they kept refering to her as a girl scout leader.  They did not refer to the husband by what he did they did not refer to anyone’s hobbies or occupation.  Why did they need to keep refering to her as a leader?  It is all about ratings.  The Girls Scout organizations certainly does not need that kind of publicity.  I have a hard enough time recuiting leaders.
