Do you not think they've suffered enough? Do you really think they haven't suffered horribly every single day since she disappeared?

Claudia Lawrence's father has done the same by seeking the media to keep the story alive in the hope of one day finding out what happened to his missing daughter. That's one of way of looking at it.  Critics may say they have attempted to cash in on the murder/disappearance /other tragedy and become "celebrity" victims using their educated and privileged positions to manipulate organisations and the media.   Clearly they have continually got attention for which victims from, let's say, a poorer and less educated background wouldn't get.   It's not unreasonable to question what is the magic spark that gets some victims a PR agent and lots of press coverage and others virtually ignored.   What is the formula that makes the reactors and commenters of these horrendous circumstances quite open judge one set of parents as "victims of a tragic mistake for which they can never forgive themselves" and another set of parents as "disgusting scumbag lowlife negligent people who should be hanged".  Edited June 4, 2020 by ECCOnoob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Any one of us in their position would have done everything in our power to find out what had happened to our daughter.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
