GRIEVING FATHER

As parents ourselves, we can imagine the heartbreak of David Smith, first believing his children were kidnapped, then finding to his horror that they will be gone forever.

Does he really need his picture on the front page of your newspaper for all to see his private grief?

All this man did was love his children.

Do you have the right to do this to him?

We don't need nor do we want to cause this poor father any more pain.

SHERRY GUAY
