Having known a family go through something similar, I know how much the speculation and other crap written on social media upset them at the time and still does to this day, as it’s all still there. Their situation didn’t have a good outcome and they are dealing with that to this day, and always will be. You lot won’t be. You’ll forget and move on. When another families situation arises, you’ll do the same again.
I know that other families our friends spoke to had also found it upsetting. Imagine having something traumatic happen in your life, and being thrust into the media, with random people commenting on every aspect of your life, pulling it apart. It’s horrendous.
It made things worse for our friends, they believe that as well as seeing the best of humanity in those that actually helped them, they also saw the worst of humanity with people speculating. They are not only damaged by their loss, but also by seeing how low people acted.
