Mom Blogger Faces Firestorm After Tweeting a Personal Tragedy

It’s true that we all handle our emotions differently, the backlash faced by this mom over Twitter is astounding. While many of her detractors have let up, others won’t. They blame her for the death of her son, who had fallen into a pool he had drowned.
The other day I wrote about a family who was trying to make something good out of a horrible tragedy.
Due to what this mom is going through right now, I’m not writing out the handle. Obviously, if one is inclined it’s easy enough to find anyway. The blogosphere is taking the story and running with it, for better or worse. While many are taking the side of the mother in question, others are being outright ruthless.
Many people have a support network online, and it can be the only place some can turn with their problems. While this case is an extreme one, it shows that both social reaction and technology doesn’t seem to be running at the same pace.
While many bloggers may turn to their audience with problems and concerns, not everyone finds that an appropriate place to vent. While many are simply writing about a bad day at work, or maybe forgetting some mundane thing at the store, this case features a real mom with very real pain.
It’s obvious that not everyone was receptive. Perhaps in part due to the initial tweet that had made the accident sound as if she was writing it before doing anything, or maybe people are just cruel.
What is your view? Should this woman have ‘expected’ this type of backlash? Or are some just taking this to extremes?
