Their lawyer is a life raft while they are drowning in grief. He is telling them what they want to hear.

I can’t possibly judge this family. RC will be fine based on the fact most people think it was grandpa’s fault anyway. I don’t really think the public at large is outraged at RC. The cruise line will be fine.

This family though is living a nightmare and will be for a long time. Let’s have some compassion even if we don’t agree with the lawsuit.

I can be companionate about thier loss but nuisance lawsuits have negative effects for all. I do not want the world wrapped in a bubble with warning labels.

My own family is blended and one of my step-grandfathers was the best man I’ve ever known. But I notice Cruise Ship Grandpa has a different name from mom’s maiden name. There were three sets of grandparents listed. One set shared mom’s maiden name.

He's step-grandfather on the maternal side.

I was so sympathetic for the family until they hired a scumbag lawyer to try and deflect the blame before their sweet child was even buried.

The family's lawsuit takes away from the little girl's memory. It almost stains it.

No.

Trying to devastate someone else's livelihood and a corporation that employees thousands to assuage your own guilt is evil.
