To be so affected by the Southport news

I can’t stop crying about this news story. I’ve recently had my first child and I don’t think it would have affected me quite so much before I became a mother. But I’ve felt sick ever since I found out yesterday.

I just can’t stop thinking about how many people’s lives will be forever ruined by this most hellish, heinous event. How will they ever be able to have normal lives? I’m so heartbroken.

It felt like a bad dream when I woke up this morning and remembered it was actually real and this has really happened. What a dark, dark day for our country.

In the light of the parents' shattering interviews this morning, I know a lot of us are thinking of Alice, Bebe and Elsie today.

Now that AR has been convicted (Rot in Hell), can anyone let me know why Bebe's parents must be anonymous?

Thanks in advance.

I assumed they have made that choice so they can go about day to day life without being recognised all the time. They probably want to be able to go shopping without people constantly approaching them and wanted to be “kind”

I could be wrong but maybe its to protect their younger daughter who was present when it happened.
