Look, I like to think I have a healthy amount of skepticism, but I don't think you can say it's "cruel beyond belief" to enable some grieving people a type of closure or comfort that they may really need, something that allows them to move on in peace.

And sometimes it can cause more harm than good. Look up the late Sylvia Browne in relation to the Amanda Berry case.

This. Every time the police follow leads they get from a so-called psychic, they're wasting precious time, taxpayer money and manpower on a tip that might as well be a random guess. All of those resources are important in a kidnapping or murder case, and it's time, money and manpower they're NOT spending on actual leads generated by credible witnesses and police work.

It is if that comfort is false and you're simply taking their money.

Look, I've had loved ones who passed away. If there was a chance I could tell my grandma how much I love her and miss her, that would be wonderful. But I don't want to talk to some weasel charlatan pretending to be my grandmother, that's not comforting. If people want smoke blown up their asses, then... well, that's their business. But I think it's cruel to deceive people into believing you can give them their loved ones back when you can't. That's taking advantage of people when they're at a vulnerable, emotionally painful time in their lives.
