Getting grieving parents/family members to stand for photo ONE DAY after they lost their 29 year old daughter is a very terrible idea. Showing their faces on Twitter is sickening.
Did you go there to mourn or to do a photo op?
@ezenekwechined1
Take down the pictures of her grieving parents for God's sake, they just lost their wonderful daughter 🤦🤦
@joe_sttimothy
It's not a funeral, it's not a service of song, it's not a remembrance, it's not a candle service, why do we need to see their faces less than a day after they lost their child of 29? Can't they just grieve in private? Be given time to process the loss? Too many anyhowness, mehn
@Sireadell
Was there any need to take pictures? I mean I like Arise news and this is so inappropriate
@sharbillionaire
Please take her grieving parents photos down. You could have made the post without their photos.
