That's horrendously biased reporting. I still don't know what anyone actually did to these would-be plaintiffs.
Some conspiracy theory sites actually published addresses and phone numbers of the parents. People who believe this *bleep* have confronted the parents in person, by phone or otherwise, demanding to know where their kids really are. Some parents have even been threatened with bodily harm.
I mentioned this before -- a woman I once worked with lost a niece at Sandy Hook. She told me her sister and brother-in-law have been followed to supermarkets or other public places and confronted by these putzes. Can you imagine losing a child under such terrible circumstances and having some idiot calling you a liar, a participant in a hoax or whatever and demanding to know where your child really is?
