I've been following these threads with great interest. My heart breaks for the girls family - this is such an unneccessary tragedy.
Rippersnapper just posted what was his/her opinion is regarding the actions of the mother today.. granted he could have put it a little more delicately - but this is FreeRepublic and I've learned that not ALL people are the most delicate.
I've just gone back and read all of his/her posts and until this last deal with the mother - his posts have been totally supportive of the search. I think a report of abuse (if it's regarding this thread) is a little silly.
Are you the moderator?
Otherwise, how delicately can one trash this woman, this suffering mother in hell, how does one call her rude, pulling stunts, a bitch?
If that kind of hatefulness is seen as acceptable here, I am in the wrong place.
I think your opinion is yours, it is not mine. And I resent your labeling my opinion and action as silly and whitewashing this troll's tasteless, hateful comments.
