I am so sorry for your family. There are tragedies every day in this country that devastate our citizens' lives but sometimes attention is just given to one case if political leaders/media/celebrities think it can get them some votes, readers/viewers/fans and PC points. Doesn't seem fair but even if you had been a squeaking wheel, if the right people that the media want to cover don't get on board with your squeaking, nothing comes of it. You could blow your wheel up and if the right types don't want to rush to your aid for their own reasons, they won't. Not fair but that is the culture we live in now - media driven. Again, I'm so sorry for your and your family's loss and pain.
