The recent story of the girl found in a suitcase and her mother is the absolute limit for me.
The fact they died separately and violently just makes me wish the person behind it can just be locked up immediately in a cold solitary cell and completely forgotten about forever, and the story be left at that, and the girls can rest in piece.
I see no point in the newspapers repeating the details time and time again. I don't want to know. How terrible does a death need to be before we stop reading these tales? I love a mystery, but these stories are less mysterious than they are incredibly grievous.
And starting the feel the same way about WT. Still holding out hope a confused lady has adopted him as her own. But anything less than that, I'd rather not know the details beyond knowing the perpetrator met a suitable fate.
Please excuse me, butterstick, if I've missed the point of your post. Are you saying you don't want details of the Wynarka/Belanglo mother's and daughter's, and William's, cases almost voyueristically picked over by the media? If so, I agree. Someone who can't defend themselves makes an easy target for gutter journalism and I find it abhorrent.
Nevertheless, I am a proponent of the 'need to know' release of information, ie, if it will help police solve crime and bring perpetrator(s) to justice. Unfortunately, the fact is that the ethics of different reporters (and their media companies) vary greatly so you can expect some will speculate on, or sensationalise, those types of stories more than others.
Just as reporters et al have different perspectives on a story, so do the readers of their newspapers. I try to look at something objectively but that doesn't stop me from being subjective when necessary, especially when I'm trying to work out what may have happened to William (and, even though I rarely post on their thread, Karlie and Khandalyce). If there is any chance that I might be able to think of anything useful to police, given the length of my life and the skills I have gained throughout, I'm willing to read even the most shocking information over and over again and force myself to remain detached.
It's in my nature and my tertiary training to be curious about, and observant of, everything to do with human behaviour and biology and remain detached emotionally although those facts don't preclude me from, at times, experiencing much anger, frustration and heartache.
William's case, in particular, is close to my heart as I have my own grandson who is just two months older. When I look at him and think about Wiliam and his family being separated, regardless of the perpetrator(s) or their motives, it just about breaks my heart.
