A prank has a 'Gotcha!' moment, when a hidden camera or mic is revealed. The reaction of the person who was pranked is as funny - if not more so - than the prank itself. This was a cruel joke. Because the higher-ups at the station gave the go=ahead to air this juvenile stunt, they are just as responsible as the asinine DJs. They are all sooo sorry. As my mother used to say, "It's always fun and games until someone gets hurt." While I agree that Jacintha must have had something else going on, the fact is that she is deceased. Her children no longer have a mother, and being teens, this is the critical age when kids need their mother the most. The timing of this is horrible as well. Now Christmas will always be a sad time for the family. The whole thing is so tragic. </p>virgo commented on 'Nurse involved in royal phone prank was found hanged, say reports'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef017d3ebbc6fd970c2012-12-12T20:17:57Z2012-12-13T03:42:48Zvirgothis whole this is very sad but i dont think there's a connection with the radio prank.

A. she may have transferred the call but she was not the one who chatted with the DJs, I find that far worse than transferring the call B. the 'Queen' called Kate her granddaughter, Kate isn;t her granddaughter, she's her granddaugher in law. C. the woman obviously had a lot more going in her life and either this call was the straw the broker her back or the timing is concidental. Either way I feel bad for her survivors</p>G.C. commented on 'Nurse involved in royal phone prank was found hanged, say reports'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef017ee62ea233970d2012-12-12T16:12:19Z2012-12-12T16:55:44ZG.C.It is unacceptable to make pranks that and then when a tragedy results just say I was just a joke....<p>It is unacceptable to make pranks that and then when a tragedy results just say I was just a joke. You are adults and should take responsibility for your actions. The station manager, the station legal and anyone else responsible for authorizing this prank should also be held accountable. I guess they are by the public! </p>
