Signal the worlds tiniest violin player folks..
The orphan named Sweetie-Sweetie abandoned by her family due to societal norms, took care of her mother for 2 weeks in close proximity to ebola afflicted individuals and didn't succumb to infection. She is now awaiting adoption in an orphanage, and here's why:
Stigma places those affected by Ebola, into a lower caste than AIDs. Shunned by even relatives, as most ebola survivors are, Sweetie-Sweetie clung onto her mother. The last of her family after her father and dear sister were claimed by the virus. An ambulance serviced by "Moon Men" from Sweetie's perspective. Arrived to escort her late Mother, who was vomiting blood, to the Port Loko red zone. After arriving, Sweetie never departed from her mother's side for over 14 days. The only people of nominal health in the perimeter were biosuit clad health workers.
Sweetie urged her mother to take her medication
She attempted to feed her
She aimlessly rinsed her mothers infectious garments
She laid sleep in a bed next to her sick mother inside of the contagious and crowded isolation unit, amid of dying Ebola patients
It is to be noted she never had access to a protective suit. Even if there was one available, there was no suit of her size to adequately provide adequate anti viral protection.
This is when the observant health care workers adorned Sweetie-Sweetie with her covalecent sur name, after noticing her making her mothers bed and keeping her spirits high. Although the educated doctors, nurses, and other medical staff gave Sweetie such a title the sad twist to Sweetie's fate begins here.
"[Typically east of Free Town, Sierra Leone] If there is an earthquake or a war and you lose a mother or father, an aunt will take care of you."
said by Roeland Monasch, head of UNICEF's office in Sierra Leone.
"But this is different. These children aren't being taken in by extended family" he claimed.
It is a miracle she survived, and possible she holds a key to end the cursed virus that is ravaging Sierra Leone. Where more than 3,500 have been affected and over 30% of those have perished. In Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea, schools have been shutdown and the students have now amassed a legion of young people to combat the fight against Ebola. Although it is said after schools shut down the youth have been drafted into hard labour, by their impoverished parents.

After her mother died, the young girl stood outside the clinic's gates looking around with enormous brown eyes. There was no one to pick her up. She was put on the back of a motorbike and taken to a group home, whose bare, dim hallways she now wanders alone.

The press is now trying to find someone to adopt her and Sweetie-Sweetie seems to know she is up for adoption.
"Do you want me?"

Well I didn't include the source in the OP, I eventually did, because I have to repost the entire thread since quotes break the edit button. So technically I could be banned and my thread is at risk for deletion.
Here's an actual ban me example

Why do people use this as an excuse? It's not an advisement, it's a poke at how people like you make bad, unfitting, sensationalist titles.
