We were involved in a tragedy here locally years ago and lost a family member. The family closed ranks against the news jackals and photographers. They were intrusive and rude, and we resented their attempts to bother the family very much. Our standard responses were "No comment" and "Out".
As mentioned, I do understand your point of view, which is quite valid. Just thought I'd gently suggest that there is another, equally valid way to look at it. Perhaps the "alone-ness" of this poor father struck me more than it might others, because I know what it is to be alone in the world. If he is as alone as the photo suggests, I hope the photo caused people who care to reach out and help him.
