[blparent] A disturbing situation

[Sharin]

OK, think maybe you took my comment a little too hard. I was commenting to
everyone, not you personally. It is tempting to get the media involved so
everyone knows how horribly these parents have been treated. I was only
making a couple of points. I think we're all upset about this, to put it
mildly, no reason to let them divide and conquer. :).

Give me a break already.  I wasn't second guessing anybody, or telling the 
lawyers how to do their job.  I just said that the media might not be as 
interested later, which is true, because stories that make the news are 
those that happen in the moment.  Of course the priority is getting the baby

back home with her parents, and I wasn't suggesting otherwise.
