Today newspaper has scraped the bottom of the reporting barrel with their latest "scoop" on Amos Yee.

In an article, "Grandson ‘antisocial after getting addicted to Internet’" on May 13, 2015, they not only resorted to interviewing the teenager's 76-year-old grandmother, but even revealed the location of the family's flat.

This is what the grandmother said, as reported by Today:

Teen blogger Amos Yee was a “normal” child who became antisocial after getting hooked to the Internet, his paternal grandmother said yesterday.

“He is a very smart boy, learns taekwondo,” Madam Chung Nyet Min, 76, said in Mandarin.

She said Amos started to devote much time to his computer when he entered his teens. “He rarely goes out with his friends ... When I asked why he spends so much time on the computer, he told me that there are a lot of things to learn on the computer,” she said at the family’s flat in Shunfu Road in Bishan.

If read as a grandchild being admonished by a concerned grandmother, it would have been innocuous enough.

However, there is a need to consider the wider context of why Amos' grandmother had to be quoted.

It is apparent, based on observations of the mainstream media's coverage of the Amos Yee hullabaloo, that the teen's parents -- Alphonsus and Mary Yee -- have been savvy and taciturn enough not to speak to the local media, lest what they say becomes fodder to be published and used against them.

From the same Today article:

When approached outside the courthouse, Amos’ father, Mr Alphonsus Yee, said he had no comment on the verdict. The teen’s mother, Madam Mary Toh, declined to speak to reporters.

The good news, though, is that there is backlash generated by the piece:
