As I read The Citizen, I came across some distracting news about a young girl's remains found. Although I did not know this young girl personally, her mother was my son's second grade teacher, and is now my daughter's teacher. I found that the news writer of this article has absolutely “no” respect for this young girl and her family simply because this person had to make a statement as to who this girl was associated with (an escort service.)

Does that truly matter? Did that justify her horrific death. This poor family has been grieving for three years the disappearance of their daughter, and finally the end result was having to hear that their daughter is dead. So let's add a bit of insult to injury by adding that distasteful comment.

Believe me, people were going to read that article without having to add that catty, very meaningless piece of information. My opinion to this writer, for future reference, why don't you put yourself where these families you write about are -- would you like for the newspaper to write about a family member of yours in this manner, should something like this happen to them ... probably not!

Trust me, all news sells, yep even tasteful news. So maybe next time you may try doing just that. Have some respect for grieving families.
