"Speaking out that the family should share is WAY WRONG! "
"How Dare we demand anything from them."
both comments directed towards Klarak when she did and said neither of those things.
As for my comment, it was a direct reply to someone who had stated that "the circumstances are better left unsaid" and indirectly to the school whose letter said something to the effect of the circumstances being unimportant.
I disagree with both statements while fully acknowledging that "I understand why the family is not ready to discuss this at this time".
My comment was not directed to the family or about the family but merely an opinion on our society and school system and how we handle situations that affect children. My top priority is and has always been children. My children and your children....I want them safe and healthy and preferably happy. If, as a society, we were more apt to discuss than to avoid, perhaps we could prevent just one child's death or injury and that to me would be worth it.
Now, that is my opinion, and no one has to give a rat's behind about it. However, no matter how strongly I disagreed with someone else's opinion, I would never wish to punch them, call them derogatory names, or imply or state that they don't care about the life or pain of another human being. In my opinion, therein lies yet another issue with our society that we should all work on.
