I'm coming for a rant here.
I am SO fed up of the fecking media with this case. And with social media... My friend just text me to say 'OMG I'm going to be on the news they were interviewing all the mums at the school...'. Now my friend isn't the brightest crayon in the box, in fact she's has a couple of issues and automatically feel protective of her. But what exactly is interviewing a mum, who has never met the woman or child involved, going to achieve? 'The whole community is shocked', 'we hope the wee boy is at peace now', 'no one can believe it'. There's only so many different ways those can be said. All that they're doing it causing more hate and judgement.
And Facebook, because I live bang smack in the middle of Muirhouse and Kirkcaldy everyone has an opinion. I've never realised how judgmental and vile people can be. I know it's such an emotionally charged subject, and I know anything to do with kids makes people angry. But people actually have their pitchforks out!
Before we even know what charges are being brought against her there's a lynch mob out after her. Not just her, but her family too. Christ, Michaeel's aunt, who hasn't been mentioned bar her house. Her FB has been shared on my timeline, her place of work, her car registration plate etc.
And then there are those who think they know it all because their mum's, brother's cousin's, neighbour once passed her in the street.
Even the most educated of people seem to have lost all rational.
Sorry, I just needed to rant on that somewhere.
