“”The Linnik family is currently in our thoughts and prayers as they begin healing from this horrific event.”

OMG! What a horrifically PC statement. What a hurtful piece of nonsense...begin healing? What healing?

The pain of knowing their child was murdered and probably raped is just starting.

Thank You.

It was a terribly stupid thing to say - and from a police official no less? How many “healed “ families of murdered children does he know? Probably none.

People who lose their children never “heal”- they only learn to bury the pain so deep they can function while no one else around them realizes what they are suffering.

As for me, since this cop is not the enemy, the murderer is, I'd cut him some slack. When there is NO right thing to say that will fix a situation, I tend to have a lot of sympathy for those who must try to say something in an attempt to comfort this family. The cop has done the only job he can do... he's got the guy behind bars.
