Yeah it’s a terrible and heartbreaking thing. But you shouldn’t be expecting money anyway.

If i was that mum i’d be in jail for trying to take out as many of his “club” members as possible.

Its so so sad what happened to all of the people who suffered also no amount of money can be put against a life But I know several people whom have lost loved ones and never got a penny also funeral cost ain’t cheap just saying

No amount of money will replace a child be grateful you got any at all.

So how do you put a price on a child's life The are not something you buy from a shop they are not a piece of meat for mums and dads to try and cash in remember them for who they were and not what you can make off their death.

Disgusting

11k for an 8yr old girls life, the Great really has gone out of Britain disgraceful
