After the tragic death of a father and
children, personal information and even photos from the scene are spread on the
Internet. Moreover, in some cases it is done in a way that person’s private
life and family tragedy become subject of manipulation. The ongoing "discussions" look for those who are guilty, in some cases
targeting the wife.
Such behavior in social networks and in
separate websites is very concerning.
It is impermissible to collect likes or views by
using family tragedy and disseminating photos of died children.
We should take into account that such behavior
results in pain and suffering to those families. Moreover, in this way we create
an opportunity for the photos be always available on the Internet and accompany
those people throughout their lives, with all the negative consequences.
This is unacceptable in the light of values,
perceptions and negative consequences in society.
I extend my condolences to the relatives of the
those who have died.
