Sick Facebook attention seeking

[BumsexAtTheBingo]

A boy from my sons class at school died in a road traffic accident at the beginning of this week.
He wasn’t a close friend of my sons but I would chat to his mum sometimes and obviously it’s a horrible thing to happen to someone so young and the children, teachers and school parents are all pretty shaken.
The mum hasn’t posted anything online about her ds’s death and from what I know of her she is a very private person. I have spoken to her briefly at the school since the accident and she is obviously absolutely broken but trying her best to keep things as normal as possible for her other children.
Today on SM I noticed that another class mum who posts about 10 statuses per day and is very loud and loves to be the centre of attention has posted on Facebook the details of the accident and how distraught she and her daughter are about the boys death - mentioning him by name.
This is followed by lots of her friends who didn’t even know the family saying how sorry they are and they hope she’s ok.
Aibu to think this is incredibly attention seeking and insensitive? I get that she is likely upset and shaken as everyone at the school is but this isn’t her news to be sharing and if the mum sees it (they aren’t Facebook friends) I’ve no doubt the level of detail would be upsetting. I’ve been in two minds as to whether to message her and ask her to take the post down but I know she won’t.
I’m honestly shocked at her behaviour. I’m used to her attention seeking statuses - yes she checks in at the hospital when she has an appointment! But using a child’s death to gain attention cor herself is a new low even for her.

I think she has behaved terribly.
I would be tempted to have a word with the school and see if they can pull her and say that the family are private and could she avoid speaking about the tragic circumstances that led to the loss of their child online?
Perhaps coming from a position of authority such as the headteacher May carry some more weight?

That is disgusting. I'm sure your mutual friends who also know the poor family will be equally as disgusted as you.

Sadly we had a tragedy last year which resulted in the death of a much loved teacher at dcs school (my dc hadn't had her). The school sent letters posted by hand to every pupil's house (over 300) that same evening and in the letter it asked us to respect the family's privacy and to not post anything on social media. I really respected the school for dealing with it in this way. On the playground the next day but there was no gossiping or whispering, just a mutual quiet sombre atmosphere and tears and hugging.

I think I’ve decided the best thing to do is ignore it tbh. Any message in the newsletter, quiet word from the school etc would just be escalated into more drama about her. Hopefully the silence from the school mums will speak for itself. I’ve muted her as she is the type who would question you defriending or blocking her.
And it’s not really my place to message her saying what the family would or wouldn’t want even though I would have thought it would be common sense not to post what she has.
One of my friends at the school who is close to the mum is doing a collection for the family so they can use it towards expenses or doing something nice for the child’s siblings.

Vile, attention seeking behaviour.

Someone on my road committed suicide in public and someone filmed it and put it on Facebook and the amount of 😂😂😂 posts and jokey messages made me realise people can be such cunts. I don’t use it but followed the post and was shocked at the comments

She is making this horrific incident about herself, crass, attention seeking and in poor taste. I would PM her tbh, it is awful.

Mission - that's dreadful!

I though things couldn't get any worse than a friend finding out that their grandson had committed suicide via F/B. The person who posted the information had found his hanged body, and posted a photo etc even before they had called the emergency services.

The police arrived at their home to break the news, but the family had already found out via that vile "friend".

@SchadenfreudePersonified excuse my French but that is absolutely fucking disgusting. What the fuck goes through someone’s narcissistic mind to think ‘I’ve got a phone in my hand so I’ll film rather than call emergency services’?

I really detest this kind of thing. We have a fb which people can post memories of our home village / old school photos etc. Then some idiot put up a status regarding a boy in the school year above me who had taken his own life aged 15, and posted all the details asking if people remembered. I was furious and asked admin to remove it. I knew the boys brother who still lives in our village was a member of the fb group. Some people are just so insensitive.

She should not be posting details of the death that aren't known by the general public. Very insensitive of her. Facebook is not the place for grief- tell her that she would be helping herself better recover from her grief offline.

FB is not a good place to post on when you are feeling vulnerable. She is not helping herself or the poor bereaved mother either.

I cannot bare people doing this, I've seen it loads and just think its so rude to publicly announce someone else's business.

Mind you guys you will be pissed of. Just ignore and live life to the fullest.
