Focus on victims

My heart goes out to Theresa Bliss, whose son was brutally murdered ( “Stop Ignoring Victims,” PostOpinion, June 3).

Ms. Bliss said it all so well, too: Lawmakers must stop ignoring the families whose children have been senselessly murdered.

It is beyond belief that lawmakers go to extremes to support these despicable killers, while disregarding the agony of these devastated and heartbroken families, who will likely never get over their excruciating tragedy.

It’s high time that public officials take a closer look at what they are doing on behalf of these terrible offenders and reach out to and support these families, rather than pander to these criminals. Enough is enough. And prayers to you, Ms. Bliss. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
