It seems to me that the Daily Mail don't actually have a clue what "balanced" and "restrained" mean. Is it "restrained" to make statements that "no child is safe from the sinister cult of emo"? It's statements like those that cause moral panics and let's be honest in 21st century Britain, where there are real issues such as racial hatred and knife and gun crime, do we really need some journalist causing more worries for parents about something that is simply not true!Hannah Bond's death is a tragedy, I'm not going to deny that but I think it needs to be questioned whether MCR and emo were what CAUSED her to commit suicide or whether it was a mere COINCIDENCE that she was a fan of emo and MCR... has it been considered that there was more going on in her life than her being an emo?Why don't the Daily Mail try supporting efforts to help people who have problems with self harm and depression rather than labelling them as part of a dangerous "cult" and issuing warnings to scare parents of teenagers who happen appreciate good music.
