Her only motive is to ridicule a kid. Can't imagine any thing else.

Not the most professional interview, but she elicits some enlightening responses.
1) the ages of the kids are 12 & 16 (if I recall correctly... watched it yesterday)
2) that they’re there every day and see it as their job, working 3-11pm
3) both advise they are in school
4) they each have a home with working parent(s)
5) they say they earn 200-350 pesos a day depending on what they sell
6) they both say they use the money to buy breakfast/food at school
7) one talks about it not being as safe at night because the police and older vendors sometimes come and take their money
8) they feel she is safe because of Politur
9) they first say she’d be safe at night by herself, but then pretty much say she’d be crazy to be out there alone at night.
There may be other points that were made, but I was just listening casually as I was doing other things.
That she asks if they speak English or are taught English in school.... I don’t see that as an odd question or one designed to humiliate the kids.
Again, amateur interview, but they give some enlightening answers, at least as relates to their personal situation.
It may be enlightening to some, who wonder about the plight of kids they see selling things on the street.
My only question would be why she didn’t provide subtitles or translation... as I suspect most of her target audience doesn’t speak Spanish.
