I've heard about it on TV, a short while after it all happened.
You know what.... despite this whole story (which is obviously tragic) I am a little bit annoyed by it by now. I mean they were talking about it on every possible channel on TV, not to mention the news papers, cheap magazines and of course the internet. Mother of this girl made a great effort do get on TV and be heard by the millions... I am sorry... but to me it just started to look like another typical show-business scene... to make it popular so it can sell. I am not saying that this mother is getting any $$$ for crying on air.... but the media... television.. all of the shows that invited her.... and the news- are wallowing in money made on this DRAMA story, which people "sooo love" to hear about.
This is something I truly don't like about USA. The exaggeration. Normally, no one gives a damn about other people's life, problems, feelings... etc. Yet, when something like this happens, then the millions of our wonderful population rise their voice to share the biggest concern. We fall into extremes. Excessively focusing on one little thing, while the rest of the whole picture is out of our range.
