[QUOTE="Andy, post: 379575, member: 5096"] It is so sad when people react so negatively. I do understand their anger and needing to find a reason through blame but sometimes terrible things happen that are beyond anyone's control. I had a co-worker whose 12 or 13 year old son killed a toddler in his home during daycare hours. My co-worker was the nicest person you could find and this has totally destroyed his life and everyone in the family. Another co-worker is very close to him and just told me not too long ago that he will still not answer her direct questions on how his son is doing after several years. I told her that I am sure it still hurts very deeply - I have never seen anyone so broken as after he learned what his boy did. He knew he had just lost his son. It took him well over a year from that terrible day to start to relax. The community has been awful to the family - the little girl was part of a family with law enforcement experience so they knew how to push this to the full extent including getting her name and picture out in the public every chance they get even now many years later and then causing a huge financial hardship on the family. I can understand their loss and hurt and need to do this but it does seem they are trying to heal through destroying another's family as much as possible. They also pushed to change laws so that this boy could have been charged as an adult if the law had passed before it happened. D's family really needs support right now. They are being punished for D's actions. They still need to know that not everyone is shunning them. [/QUOTE]
