Did parents of Sandy Hook shooting victims identify their bodies?

News here reported that the PARENTS of the deceased kids gave the authorities numerous photos of their child to be used for identifying.

This entire ordeal doesn't sit well with me at all. If it were a few inconsistencies I might raise a brow but absolutely everything about this story is off.

So were they shot in the face or were pictures of their faces used to ID the bodies???

you simply can not have it both ways, but the media has reported it both ways.

so many elements stink of a psy-op of the highest order.

so they wouldn't let the parents identify them by any other way? that would be messed up. most parents know their kids even if the face is gone.

Goddam! Well said!

A six year old child shot multiple times at close range with a high powered shot gun ? Probably not much left to identify.

by this years yearbook photo?

damn straight, as a parent you have a right to conclude that they have died by seeing it, as seeing is believing otherwise there will be severe psychological problems

I read in my local paper, that one of the teachers who was killed had a father in quebec and he was qouted as saying he wasnt allowed to see the body of he dead daugther not sure about any of the other deaths

.223 rounds

That's right!

They're all lovingly made by hand, by jolly, Mariachi-serenaded Mexican peasants!

answer me damit anyone
will this goto a court of law or is this the closet to the truth we will get from the media and thats it

does it goto court in a murder suicide?

Speaking of yearbooks... Didn't I read the Parker kid didnt have a pic in it?

You know the one ppl r sending money for to that fake parent... The one who can't gin up a real tear for his child..

Okay fine... the assholes wouldn't let the parents see the bodies while they were in their custody.

AFTER the body is released to the funeral home it only takes a request to the funeral director to SEE THE BODY...even if the family chooses not to have an open casket, for whatever reason... the family is ALWAYS allowed to view the body of their relative.

IF they were denied viewing at the funeral home...

houston we have a problem.

Never happen, amigo.

Never happen.

I distrust my government so much I would have to see my child to confirm their death. If confirmed I would then deal with the grief of identifying my loved one.

I just read a report, from a publication that we can't link to, that said the parents ID victims from photographs the police took inside the school..

Excuse is right.

BULLSHIT, You could show me my kids foot or Hand ..and I would KNOW it was my kid.
You don't need to show me the bullet wounds altho let's be clear here, after they are dead and the bleeding stops, the wound can totally be cleaned up and even sewn together (except a head shot to the face of course) so you would see nothing much but a suture wound.

So....if thats the case ...how come all 40 parents (Mom and Dad) aren't seeing their kids?

But if the authorities said the parents could not see their children because the damage to their faces and heads was so severe, then how would they match photos taken before the shooting?

so this will not goto a court ?

and based on this we are going to lose our right to defend ourselves?

u got to be fuking kidding me

And WHY would any of these parents need memorial funds?

That is an affluent area and evidently, all the parents are realatively wealthy.

Go watch the Anderson Cooper interview with the couple of the little girl named Grace. It's clear that they were not able to see her - they did not CHOSE to not see her, but said it was ok with them because they'd rather remember her as she was.

Parents should have the option and may choose not to see them, but they should not be denied that right.

That's what I've been asking - if they used photos before the shooting and the children were allegedly shot so horrendously and multiple times in the face and head, HOW would they ID them with photos taken before?

But if they used photos taken AFTER the shooting and they showed those to parents, why wouldn't the parents have the OPTION to either see the bodies or not?

It's convoluted "logic".

I totally agree. I'm a parent of a Kindergartener and a 3rd grader. As horrifying and unreal as this must be for any parent, I don't think I could have closure if I didn't see the body with my own eyes. Seeing the body would surely haunt me for the rest of my life, but so would not seeing the body...I think. Who knows what I would actually do if I were in the hell that these parents are in, of course I'm saying what I *think* I would do if it were me but in the hell of the moment, who knows. I pray that these parents can just breathe, God knows I couldn't if it were my child.

What you would have is a vision in your brain that would haunt you for the rest of your life. The Coroner said that each child had five to 11 gunshot wounds. Besides that, did you ever see a person who is dead? Depending on the circumstances obviously, but the best will be a person who kind of resembles your loved one but looks extremely weird and it's very surreal. So these children will look like that plus be riddled with gunshot holes.

By law a person has to be identified by someone. I would insist that a relative do so.

When I lost two close relatives, one young and the other one fairly young, the Coroner asked me if I wanted to identify the bodies. I froze. My aunt stepped in and said no, that she'll do it. She went through a door with the assistant looking like my aunt, and came out barely recognizable. It was the shock and grief of what she saw that changed her.

Parker family is fake, to collect funds off the tragedy to finance future events, but people did really get killed its not all fake

[link to www.usatoday.com]

Info on funds.

It is inexplicable, inexcusable that the authorities make such claims and that ANY parents would accept being told they cannot see their own children.

It would be horrible, horrible for a parent to have to view their dead child's body especially if there were obvious wounds . . . but I believe it would be FAR more traumatic for parents to not have closure by being able to verify for themselves.

damit anybody know the law please will this case go in front of a judge with real evidence in a murder suicide crime

or we just get the media's version and lose our freedoms?
