Everyone is talking about the horror story in Manhattan. No, not the cop who tried to kidnap women, kill them, and then eat them. I'm talking about the nanny story.
A nanny who worked for a family on the Upper West Side for nine years stabbed two of the children to death, and then tried to kill herself. Just awful.
But equally awful has been the newspaper coverage and the comment sections.
The New York Times article went completely overboard on this story and gave way too much information about the mother's reaction to finding her two children in a pool of blood in the bathtub.
On the Upper West Side, neighbors described seeing Ms. Krim, a towel over her head, clinging to her one surviving child, being escorted by the police to a waiting ambulance.
Ms. Starr said that when she saw Ms. Krim in the building’s lobby, she was in a state of shock. “She was screaming in a psychotic state,” she said. “She was not lucid.”
Overboard.
And then there's the comment sections on this piece and the article in Gawker. I guess the real bad guy in this story is the rich woman who had a nanny. Can't we wait 48 hours before the Internet assholes come out to play?
