Stop the press from interviewing victims of massacres until a later date. (Especially young children.)

Created by B.S. on December 14, 2012

I would like to stop the press from interviewing all victims of shooting massacres. Today I saw the news of the schooting in Connecticut, and I was shocked to see a small child being interviewed by the press. This also happened during the Colorado shooting, with victims and their families. These people should be in the care of heath officials and therapists. There is no reason to interview a third grader after a massacre. I also think that first responders should be excluded from press interviews. The only place the press should get information from should be police and hospital administrators. People should not be on the air if they are still in shock. This is morally wrong, and should be stopped regardless of the press' First Amendment right to do so.
