I have never understood why the national media seems to shy away from these type of horrific murders. They seem to pick and choose what they want everyone to be aware of.
These type of crimes are happening more and more where a child will murder their parents or siblings or both and for the most trivial of reasons. Yet it is as if those cases are not as newsworthy or is that really it? Is it they just do not want to discuss murders of this type because its families?
I have always been so offended by the media who's motto is "if it bleeds, it leads" who seems to have some imaginary criteria they want met.
Just like lawmakers will stampede congress wanting new laws enacted for stronger punishment if a little child is abducted, raped and murdered by a stranger. YET, never want to actually help the other 95% of abused, incestuously repeatedly raped, neglected and murdered children and most of the time it is done by their very own mothers or fathers. It makes no sense. It makes no sense yet they turn a blind eye. I have never understood why, if a victim is a child belonging to the murderer or rapists then those children never get the medias attention and congress never enacts tougher laws for incest victims who have been brutalized over a period of many horrific years. Even the justice system fails these type of children for the sentences handed down are much lower than if it had been done by a stranger. They have no law enacted in their names.
The media needs to give the complete picture. That is seems lately, at an alarming rate juveniles are murdering their parents or wiping out their entire family and they need to bring to the forefront just how many little children are being cruelly abused, raped or murder by their very own parent or parents.
It is like the media refuses to see the big white elephant in the room standing there.
All we hear is a blimp on cases like this one, maybe, and they move onto what they perceive are more titillating, sensational cases, where it seems either the victim or the defendant has to have some allure.
I think it is shameful.
