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.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

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

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.
