NOBODY knows how people would or should behave when something horrendous has happened. That is becoming more and more obvious as human responses to tragedy are documented. People become like automatons and that is evident in the behaviour which we see more and more on news programmes.  And what about those occasions when murderers pretend to be distressed about their missing family members at news conferences?  Are they exhibiting the 'right' behaviour because that is what we all expect?  Reactions differ greatly amongst people who have endured something terrible.


I reiterate my point that policing is a learning experience and what is done in one case helps with practice for other cases however much it sticks in the throat for some that one family is having help.  That's how it is, and that's what people donated to.  Nobody forced them to.
