Kirsty Ross is reliable as an outside source. Though the word controversy is often associated with negativity, I believe it is important to remember that there are those that will be in support of a controversy. Kirsty Ross supports the ethic decisions of the nurses who cared for her own children during their stay in the NICU. She is a credible source as a mother.
Location
Though not currently in the NICU, she alludes to her past residency. She is a direct reference to the center of the controversy, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Network
Kirsty is a mother in every aspect. Her network is one of family-friends, etc. However, Kirsty is also credited as being the author of several books, including an event planner and a poetry assistance book. Though she is not directly connected to a national organization, I still believe she is a viable source to this controversy.
Content
Her claims could be verified by the hospital that she mentioned in her post, the Doncaster Women's Hospital, and, more personally, by her friends and family.
Contextual Updates
As this was a unique occurrence in her life, she does not post often on the topic. However, this is actually in support of the source. She has no reason to recount her experience in the NICU, yet she does on a day meant to thank the institution.
Age
Kirsty's instagram account is several weeks old, though the memory she recounts is years old.
Reliability
She is reliable as a source. She has personal experience with the controversy in question. As a first hand witness, she is very important to the "scene of the crime."
