My opinion is that this thread is devoted to supporting William's family and not a man who has been charged with child sex offences. Some WSers on the thread seem to spend an inordinate amount of time defending that man in particular. I find that extremely interesting, as other men have been mentioned in the media and there has nary been a comment which is in defence of any of them.
I have no skin in the game regarding BS so I really couldn't care less about how he has been portrayed in the media. I think some people forget that, at the start of the drama surrounding him, BS, his wife, his son and his best friend were all over the media giving interviews. So in my opinion they all invited attention from that quarter and the negative commentary which has followed. Not only that, but on the first anniversary of William's disappearance, BS was tactless enough to release a video again bringing attention to himself, at the same time William's FP's were finally able to give a television interview appealing to the public to help find William and not to give up on him. So, under the circumstances, and due to the fact a now 4 year old boy is still missing nearly 18 months on, I hope people will excuse me if I don't continually cry me a river over the way BS is being portrayed in the media.
