    Sigh...You hate children so much yet you make a point of bringing up children, pain, torture and heartache at every chance you get.

    I'm sorry your childhood was so horrible. Please stop talking to us and talk to a therapist. Please.

    You're really good at knowing how you would behave in situations most of us can barely imagine. Go you!

    ^^this

    You have a strong opinion about a lot.... and a lot to do with kids and family...... which you have NO IDEA about.

    I'd quit these topics since you aren't ahead... and not making any friends either.

    until you have kids and suffer a loss, you have NO RIGHT to judge how anyone acts.....

    And what is it with you and physically hurting people..... you have issues.

    I have two kids. And if anything ever happened to them I dont know what I would do. You dont know what these parents are going through and why they are talking to the media. Dont judge the media. They are doing their jobs respectfully.

    Because victims need voices to...Also.. the media does give these families the right to turn down the interviews, and some of these familes are reaching out to the media to give voice to their babies, or to even let the shooters family know they do not hate them if the family feels they are OK with doing it who am I to judge?

    Would I be on the TV talking about my child if I lost them (don';t have children of my own but i do have a child I consider to be like my own) I can't say... If I would be in the media or not and I hope above all else I never have to know.

    You don't have children, must less understand what a parent losing their child feels.

    Perhaps it's time to shut down the judgement factory and just get on with your own life?

    If you haven't read my posts, before, I don't have kids...and I'm not exactly a kid friendly type person. That being said, this recent media coverage of people who've lost their kids is a tish ridiculous. If a reporter even tried to interview me after I lost a loved one, I would not hesitate to beat the crap out of them. In fact, I would break their camera....and as a photographer, I know I'd be doing some serious monetary damage to them. And I wouldn't care what the repercussions were..

    But why does the media get away with doing this? I'm waiting to see live coverage of some parent beating some reporter who tries to interview them in that state or attack a photographer who tries to get pictures of their house ect...just for profit. Let's face it, the whole "public has a right to know" is BS. What they do is an invasion of privacy. I've only photographed disasters (aftermath of tornados, floods ect..), and have never capitalized from it. This getting interviews/photos for profit should be prohibited in certain cases.

    Why do you hate the therapists so much? :(

    Fortunately, the parents of the victims have behaved in a sane, mature fashion.

    I honestly don't know what I'd do in this situation. I'd be so in shock.

    I did see a story about a twitter feed though. A person who knew a parent of a child in the school tweeted that they just found out and don't know about their child yet.

    Reporter tweets back if they could get an interview

    Original tweeter then replies to reporter "Eat a "male reproductive organ""

    If Westboro Baptist showed up at my child's funeral though...there would probably be a physical confrontation, unless the freedom riders showed up, as they did in NewTown.

    You're a special padded room no showlaces for you kind of snowflake.


    But I think the news people talking to children about what went on should be shot. Parents are one thing. Children that were there are a completely different story.

    Your post holds no weight because you are talking about a situation you have no personal experience with. I can tell you what I'd do if aliens decended and started taking over the planet.

    If ever TV reporters tried to interview me and I didn't want to say anything they'd get the same two words out of me. It's not "no comment" the first word would get censored here (and on TV) and the second word would be "you"

    I wouldn't be surprised if the people being interviewed WANTED to talk as part of their greiving/coping process.

    The reporters aren't the problem. The parents who ALLOW these interviews are the problem.

    You remind me of my SIL...who judged us for putting a paci in our daughter's mouth as an infant. "I will NEVER give my child a paci," she said. Until she had children of her own.

    Try some empathy and compassion, not just from your own narrow-minded perspective.

    Exactly. I, for example, could tell you how to speak to an idiot on the interwebz who has no children, doesn't want children, but wants to assume what they would do in various situations if they did have a child. Smfh

    So a parent was just walking around with their child "Interview my kid! Interview my kid!" No... a reporter had to go up to the child. And in a moment of chaos and when a parent (most likely) wasn't around but the child was under the care of a teacher or other adult along with 30 other kids... yeah. The parents are totally to blame for that.
