    It's a poor choice of a photo. Child dies, photo of parents having a good time. Plenty of other options for the image.

    I hope they got permission to post that photo. I know if my child had just died I wouldn't want one of my social media photos displayed like this.

    Why include a photo that totally contrasts the mood of the incident?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Some papers will log on to Facebook, search the families names and harvest photos from social media accounts and assume anything not private is public property, happens all the time.

    Well, obviously. But the thread is about the photo.

    Fair enough. I just think its pretty irrelevant personally, like I wouldnt have ever thought about the picture they used beyond it being as a means of identifying the parents(why they needed to be identified in this instance at all though, I dont know). But obviously for others it seems to matter to them

    They're both turned out well in that pic. If I was in their shoes and thank God I am not, I wouldn't have any real issue.
