Why is this news? Okay, so the police are doing their job, and making sure that this infant’s death was indeed an accident. But why must this lazy newspaper feel the need to release the name of the child, so the family has to deal with even more stress than they are already under? Why is this your business? Is there really nothing else you can report on?
Really? This is lazy journalism based off nothing. Find some actual news to report instead of putting judgement on people.

To imply that the intensely grieving family may be at fault is disgusting and cynical [expletive]. I know the family personally, and the results of this loss have brought catastrophic levels of misery on a beautiful, loving family.
If this is the kind of reporting you’re doing, then I will gladly look elsewhere for more quality reporting.
