Girl 16 Dies in Hang Glider Crash Update: It’s Time For Real Solutions

Oct. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- The sudden death of the girl 16 dies in hang glider crash comes as a huge shock both to the child’s family and the community in which they live.  Noone expects a child to die and so such deaths are often reported in the media.  The media coverage itself can be intrusive and unfeeling, at a time when the family is experiencing overwhelming grief.  Social media such as Facebook and Twitter are now part of this reporting, where individuals have the power to directly communicate their message to other people without there being any censorship prior to the messages being published.

Ruby Starheart, a leading expert in family bereavement and grief revealed, “It’s time we separated fact from fiction. The real story here is that a child died and the family needs loving support right now.  I witnessed unnecessary pain caused to a family whose daughter died last week because people were leaving inappropriate comments on Facebook.  As human beings we have a duty of care for each other when tragedy hits.”

As proof, Ruby Starheart asks readers and journalists to consider these three areas before deciding on what they are going to say:

•   The loss of a child is an incredibly shocking and painful experience

•   The family is likely to be in a state of disbelief and shock right now

•   Loving, supportive words and actions are the way forward
