I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Sorry to be the party pooper

Glad to hear he is with his family.

Still not a very happy situation for a four year old IMO.

Why?

Because I have a kid about the same age as the boy in the picture. I was trying to remember if you do as well, but IIRC your youngest is a bit older than that - I was trying to recall by how much.

It was done by some idiot retweeting something and adding their own fake commentary. Not the media.

According to the article, the caption was added by a CNN International anchor. So yes, the media.

On twitter. Not in an actual report.

People are confused today and think twitter is a great news source...

I think that's an important general point.If we manage to avoid eradicating ourselves as a species for the time being, people in time will learn to handle social media like they used to handle some bloke in the pub telling them something - sure, some people would take the story for granted, but most would keep at least some level of scepticism until they heard the same thing for a news source they trusted.
