It doesn't prove there is a problem. However, it may suggest there is a problem. Further, assuming Leila was murdered by her sibling because of your suggested "household problems" under which you belive they lived, why aren't there countless other sibling murders through out the nation...

You do know that a custodial parent cannot withhold visitation of a child to a non-custodial parent because of failing to pay child support, don't you? Or to withhold support payments due to being denied vitiation? A call to the local police to report the failure of parent "A" to provide access...

I have a legitimate question. How is the above not a violation of: "Bashing and/or accusing one of the parents based on your own experiences/ speculation is not allowed. It doesn't belong here and, in the long run, would not be in the best interest of the minors. If you must, take it to pm...

You've posted decent guidelines. I think you may have taken on the task of herding cats in trying to enforce them, though. I wish you luck.

It never really existed. Not even the early days of news-print. (17th/18th century). And Televised news? What you see in those 2-3 min news segments are just a summary reporting where accuracy isn't as important as hooks, teasers, tone and making sure you stay tuned through the next...

I understood that. Which is why I (a) emphasized that because you see pics on the news doesn't mean a family doesn't want privacy, (b) that I understood how you wouldn't have known they requested it and (c) I suggested you (and everyone else in the world) assume EVERY family wants their privacy...

Because ABC or NBC or whoever plasters their faces all over the place doesn't mean they haven't requested privacy -- or that posters on this forum shouldn't respect it. It's impossible to know everything reported in every article everywhere -- and if you've missed any family request for privacy...

My opinion would be to ignore anything the news has to report about family members being suspects in any way UNLESS LE has named a family member as a suspect or made an arrest. My experience with the news (print and televised) is that accuracy is not one of their priorities. It falls...

I've left my 13 and 10 yo alone for short stretches since they were 12&9. Longer when their cousin was over (he's almost 16 now). It's *NOT* unusual. It's part of giving kids more responsibility and trust as they get older. It's also not unheard of for younger children to be left along for...

There are still ugly comments being made. Get a large enough audience and you'll have a good slice of "stupid" mixed in. Pour a little cream of "perceived anonymity" sauce on top and POOF -- you have an unusually large number of hateful/hurtful comments.

I totally agree. I believe it would be a waste of their time. My suggestion was directed at Eileen to pursue if she were that interested in the square footage of family home, what jobs are held by the mother and father, where other members of the family live ... etc as an alternative to...

Then find out. Sleuth. Don't make the 2-3min sound bite commercial news riddled with inaccuracies conduct public investigations because you want them too. Do it yourself. Call the local law enforcement as I've suggested twice before now and ASK. They can be a wealth of information if you...

Wanting answers to those questions that are truly none of your business and wanting the commercial media to publicly focus on private family business are two different things. You are more than welcome to WANT to know my shoe size. You will be told, however, that it's none of your business. If...

<modsnip> I think it illustrates the problems of the commercial media doing LE work: 1: It's mostly meaningless. My house, counting windows, has well over 20 "points of entrance". Further, the question might lead the public in a direction that's just plain wrong. Or maybe just the "Well --...

Sounds like a plan.

Long story. I'll tell you about it some day.

As far as I could tell, the victim's family has said very little. Often times the public will show a humbling display of compassion and ask "can we help? what can we do". If the public wants to help or share in your mourning, do you REALLY consider that an open invitation to ask nosy...

Respectfully, what does this have to do with the press publicly focusing on you and asking questions that are quite frankly, none of the public's business. What you are describing is the job of LE -- and when I was in that boat, it's effectively what my family did. "Fingerprint us to help...

I'll say a special prayer for you tonight in hopes you never need to find out what you would REALLY do. Those words are easy on your side of the fence -- but from over here, I can tell you it's a lot more complicated. And perhaps you might do as you suggest -- but what if, God forbid, your...

Sorry -- but in situations like this, I disagree. Picture your child is kidnapped. Press publicly investigate you. There is something wrong with that.
