Probably tl;dr but I've been upset/fuming about this comment all week re the Syrian boy who drowned:


The father had left the life threatening war zone. His desire to rush to a fantasy of a better place ASAP to no heed of or care about the risks for his helpless children.The option to go on NOW was patently unsuitable, nearly double the passengers the boat was potentially able to carry safely. He took it.

Sure it will be a bad phase for a time, but it's memory he'll learn to supress, later most likely he'll remarry and have another family. No parent who is extremely attatched to their little ones takes such a risk once past the immanent immediate threats. Risking your childs death for better immediate or future conditions only makes sense if your concern was more about your own needs, this father could swim well enough.In all these shonky boat fatalities where there are survivors to be rescued or swim out of it are men with the deaths always children and women.

You need to stop presuming that such males have the same level of feeling for their children as presumably our caring men have. The fact this man can make so much noise about the event and speak to media implies he's not as deeply devestated. If he was, he'd be so overwhelmed , broken he'd be tearfuly mute, barely functioning. Anyway the origins of the main blame are the civil war in Syria, Isis, followed by people smugglers, disorganised management of refugees by EU countries heads, and finally fathers like him!


...totally lost my faith in humanity for a while. What's partially restored it is that some countries have been opening their borders, at least temporarily.

Gods, there are so many things wrong with that.

I mean, first, if you believe that staying in a place means certain death for your children, then yes, you may very well make the choice to run with them on the chance that doing so will ensure their survival. He was fleeing with them from a war zone. How can this person argue that it would have been more caring for him to have stayed and subjected his children to that?

And second, everyone responds differently to grief. It's disgusting to suggest that there's only one correct response, and that if you don't respond in that way, then you must not truly care. Goodness.

"The fact this man can make so much noise about the event and speak to media implies he's not as deeply devestated. If he was, he'd be so overwhelmed , broken he'd be tearfuly mute, barely functioning."

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, no. Just...no. Everyone handles grief in a variety of ways, there's no one set way to grieve.

That is one shitty as hell comment and the idiot who wrote it needs to be smacked upside the head. Hard.
