While social media cannot be controlled 100%, many other media organizations report matters without protecting or maintaining ethics most of the times.

Rest in Peace dear Radhya. With this bold, firm and polite message from the parents who themselves are yearning for closure of this painful experience we adults and the media has a few lessons to learn.
1. Loose talk based on assumptions hurts and even kills people. Don't do it. Verify facts if you want to enjoy eureka moments.
2. Judgmental gossip be it by parents or teachers is disruptive and in this case life threatening.
3. Media specially cheap youtube channels must be educated to self govern themselves.
4. It will be good for all schools specially CIS to nip the problem in the bud and establish codes of conduct for the adults and teachers who are essential stakeholders. The risk of not having loose talk prevented and discouraged will eventually harm your corporate name and goodwill.
5. Nowadays kids are prone to not handle stress and injustice as well as in the past. Schools should have a situation management protocol to immediately manage the aftermath.

Very sad , our society should be more careful of issues of this nature. It’s surprising to hear the behavior of some parents of her friends,
