Family of Newtown survivor SUING!!

[Duchess]

I was just thinking sincerely that maybe they need help. Yes I am sure they are grateful, but damn the kids that survived, parents with kids that survived-they are all going to need some fucking help-and it is not cheap.

On the other hand-I have this feeling that some give in to the victim role much easier than others. But fuck god damn, it wasn't my town, nor was it my kids so I am not going to sit here and pass a lot of judgement at this time.

It is hard to ask for help when you need it. Of course it is going to be judged.

Just another perspective.

I felt that they were being greedy because I had read of all the help that had been offered to them as well as to the families who had lost their child or an adult loved one. There is no shortage of mental health experts/workers offering their services free of charge for as long as it is needed.

When I first heard of this I was even willing to believe that an ambulance chasing attorney had contacted them but that wasn't the case at all, they approached a lawyer within a week of the shooting. I'm very far removed from this horror and can still barely wrap my mind around what happened so I was stunned to see they made such a move within a week. I feel like they are using this godawful situation for financial gain.

Reading LC's crime forum for the past few years has disillusioned me when it comes to human nature. There was a time I may have applauded their actions & I would have felt they deserved it and had I read it was the parents of one of the murdered kids I probably would have kept my mouth shut but I see these parents as using this horror for their own monetary gain. I wish I didn't, I'd rather have compassion for them.
