You're kidding? This is sick and pathetic. I sure would like to know of all the kids that go missing, why this particular child makes them want to change the name? This whole thing is very strange.
I agree. It's time for the community to be allowed to move on and not be hijacked by the van Dam family circus. Unfortunately, there's still more public memorializing to come, beyond the candlelight vigil, beyond the outpouring where she was found, beyond...--there's another one at La Jolla Shores public beach on the 16th or thereabouts.
