It's not clear in what way she "left" her kids to kick this guy. Does the Mail think she should have held onto them? Of course the attack is outrageous, but the tone of the journalism is unnecessary. Also, she's described as "Serial thug Amanda Lowe, 26"...that's no way to describe someone. One of the problems with racist stereotyping is that they tend to conform to the label. To describe her in this way, instead of "unemployed" or whatever she is, risks it becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy.
