"To Stockton [CA], Michael Jackson meant more to us than Jesus did to some people. I think they're both about even. They're both icons."- Morbidly obese lady missing her upper plate
I totally agree with you. I am a mom and a grandma and a daughter who was blessed to have an absolutely wonderful Dad, now deceased. I, my sons and daughter were with their dad (my husband) when he took his last breath.
I am not minimalizing her pain at all. It's terribly difficult, even as an adult, to bury a parent.
All of that aside, I just don't think it is in the thought process of an 11 year old mind to speak publicly as she did.
I could be wrong but I seriously doubt it was her idea; I think it was an adults.
If so, she was exploited by the adults who should be protecting her, not throwing her as a bone to the media frenzy.
