Should the Koda matter have been featured in the news so heavily in the first
place, out of consideration for his family? Should we have heard about what his
family was doing, and should they have been interviewed during and after the
ordeal? How about the story and images of that lost family and the boy removed
from the car wreckage under the landslide, especially in light of the claim he
has not been told about his mother's death and he has been asking for her since
awakening?
