I know that I would not speak to the media after such a tragedy in my family.

understand why her family would allow that interview. I am much older than her now, but at that age, my parents would never have allowed such a thing. The media literally feeds off misery, heartbreak, tragedy, and chaos.

Awful.

Why do they consent to speak to the media. I doubt I would be able to speak to anyone. If it was a child, I guess they don't realize what they are doing. Why would adults allow children to speak to the media. Have not seen the video, so guess I am just responding to the concept.

the people in charge there are bereft of any decency and compassion.

They couldn't even let the family have one fucking day alone to grieve..

And minors should be an automatic no interview when it comes to events such as this. Even with adults I would tread very lightly.

I had to turn it off. Too heartbreaking. Feeding off of a child's suffering is not my thing.

Better telling the world what a gem of a sister she lost. I'm not sure who called whom.
