I think the familys would like it better if the media was not trying to make a conspiracy story out of the deaths to help sell papers/get viewers. They have often asked for the media to stay out of it, that it's part of the problem, and even that they may be helping to encourage further deaths in the area.

We're not saying it's not tragic nor that their deaths only amount to a statistic, to be honest I think it's pretty obvious we're not. We are saying that the media's coverage of the story is incorrect and irresponsible and is done sorely because they can generate interest in their fictitious conspiracy/internet story.

If they were raising awareness of suicide in general then it would have a point, but people are committing suicide everyday and are not getting coverage. Unless you know someone personally, these things always end up as a static.

These deaths are no more tragic than any other young person taking their own life just because it’s caught national coverage.
