News articles about child deaths
 

I'm seriously pissed off about having to read about children DYING everyday in news websites such as The Sun and Daily Mail.

I find it really depressing and immoral having to read about people dying too young. I think newspapers should ban these disgusting articles and come up with more uplifting and un-traumatising articles.

The news these days is a disgrace.

the news is what it is, you can't expect stories about bunnies and rainbows

You seem very angry hun

Yeah, let's hide it all under the carpet :fist:

The bodies of the stories?

The Stories.
Keep it all out of the papers..might upset someone after all.

It depends on the context. When it's been as the result of a crime, or in war, or as the result of something preventable then I'd say it's in the public interest to know about it. For example, it's horrible to read about children killed in car accidents, but if part of the story is that they weren't strapped in properly or weren't in a proper car seat - and reading about the death prompts even just ONE parent to be more safe - then that's worth it.

But I do agree that all too often you open a tabloid and the first headline that hits you is about some poor child that has died in a completely random accident, where absolutely nothing could have been done about it... and I can't help but think, what good does it do anyone?

i agree with you, because it ain't news to report every day about dying children

well there are other things happening in the world which are more interesting


but please relax and don't worry too much about it :)
