So why in the fuck is America so obsessed with these hollywood death stories? If you give a shit about dying children so much, put the SAME amount of attention on Umbukwallie in Uganda who died of dehydration today.

It's ONE kid. Fuck off.
While I agree the press is ridiculous over this case and this little girl but if you cheapen the death of one child, you cheapen the death of them all. It isn't her fault her death is getting this sort of coverage and probably wouldn't in any other country.
