Message: [QUOTE="Colleen Collier, post: 23001, member: 137411"] Susan. I understand your plea! Forensics is an interesting field, but when it is taken to such extremes, one has to ask when will it end. On one side you say that if this is a family's wish to know and lay the subject to rest, it would be closure for them, and o.k. but this child (IMHO) has become a symbol of ALL children that have perished, and hope for ALL families that maybe this was so-n-so. I have found myself thinking of all the children [i]by name[/i] when thinking of this grave. I would hate for those others to fade into the woodwork because "We know the identity." In regards to newspaper articles, I will back up the words of Geoff...>>>Don't believe ALL that you read in the newspapers! I can assure you that the facts are not as suggested.<<< Let me give you a brief and unrelated example. My husband was out on a call regarding a man that had died of a heart attack and was found in his house. He had something like 60 wild and vicious dogs on his property, and they had to be contained before the coroner could get inside. By the time the newspapers got ahold of the story in Las Vegas Nevada about 130 miles away, they had this happening on another day, got the mans first name incorrect and claimed the dogs had parts of him drug out into their dog igloos! I'd watch this close, but listen to reliable inside sources. And as always, my prayers are for the best for this little baby. Colleen [/QUOTE]
