    We are absolutely shocked and appalled by this comment saying “Hauser lives a high risk life style”, the source of that comment is supposedly the RCMP, but now it is being reiterated by several media sources including infotel and castanet. It shows a complete lack of compassion and humanity.Brandy is a loving mother of two boys, a dedicated care aid, and a wonderful person. A missing person is a terrible thing no matter what their life style!When the media propagates news in such a fashion they are blaming the victim, what purpose does it serve? Will it help bring Brandy home to her boys sooner? NO, it will not!PLEASE STOP USING THAT COMMENT IN YOUR ARTICLES! Brandy is a hardworking, loyal person and well respected by many in our communities.Brandy, we consider it a great privilege to have you as a friend and we pray for your safe return to your boys! Love and light to light your way home our beautiful friend!
