Why can't the media and reporters leave the Puttick's family alone let them be buried in peace and let the family and friends say their goodbyes withiout cameras being shoved in their face.

The thing is though, that it was such a dreadful tragedy, there is bound to be media interest.

Why can't the networks get together and send ONE team, then share the report? It's not as though any of the media attendees are going to find anything exclusive to show / report anyway.

Such a sad thing to have happened. There is no place for reporters there. It's appalling.

It was in the newspaper today that some thieving bastards had stole fuel from their house. I think this is what the media are reporting on, it's such an evil thing to do.

especially when it gets printed about what they had in there house how much things were worth etc its opening up a can of worms, our town is back to normal today and you can see Kazumi's family walking in peace

YANBU, their funeral isn't news and not something I will read about.

It is a traumatic and private tragedy, I certainly do not want to see images of their loved ones grieving. T

There are no words to describe how sad this all this.

YANBU that's tragic - I always think it's wrong of the media to intrude like that. How is that news?

I think Pointy has a point, I am terribly sorry this is happening, but we are all just talking about them as well now.
I think it needs forgetting and leaving alone now.

I'm sorry to hear you knew them buktus, and I agree with you.

When I was at school my best friend's little sister was murdered - the DM printed a picture of her and her brothers walking away from their home looking devastated. No one had any idea there were reporters there.

Such and invasion

I actually agree with you, Buktus, but I am not sure how you are helping your cause by getting abusive and nasty with people who disagree with you.

Posting in AIBU does invite disagreement as well as agreement - and also a number of people have agreed with you, yet you have lumped them all together in your condemnation of mumsnet.

No, YANBU, but you are being a naive nimby.

ok layoff people, Ifbuktus knows the family maybe she is upset and not at her best. Can we just let it lie please. I think we all agree that media intrusion into a family's grief is not something we would want for us or ours.

I think you are probably right DD, sorry Buktus. Hope you are Ok.
