I think it's incredibly sad that they were targeted because they chose to stand behind their daughter until the truth outed. No parent ever wants to believe the worst about their children, even a crime as horrid as the one their daughter is being accused of. In a time when family needs to grieve, a time when they need support and community behind them, they get treated like criminals instead. It's not just the Anthony's that this type of thing has happened, but to other families in similar situations as well. It's one of the biggest flaws in media. Twenty years ago if a child turned up missing, you'd be hard pressed to find hundreds of people on the lawn of the family throwing rocks at them and calling them murderers, but the circus effect caused by the media seems to encourage that type of behavior today. It's incredibly sad.
