I think it is presumptive to assume the question was not genuine.

The younger generations seem to have dispensed with the notion of polite behavior in the face of a loss by death.It's not rocket science to avoid a stupid question on a thread immediately announcing a death of a child. If you're not sure about saying a thing, keep your mouth shut out of respect.

“The younger generations seem to have dispensed with the notion of polite behavior”.
You nailed that one perfectly. I was coming out of the store and a middle school girl inadvertently almost spit on me. her friend said “omg you almost spit on him” the girl said “so what the F is he going to do about it “ I gave her a stone cold look and just before I said anything it came to me the world has a way of sorting out her type. I walked away actually feeling sorry for her.
So this is a really sad story, to hear a young decent child passed away who might have made a great contribution to others in her life. I can’t imagine losing a child.
