I don't know how you're supposed to act in a situation like that. Just a feeling I got.
I hope the kid and grand parents show up soon, and safe.

I don't think this is a fair comment. It comes up at everytime one of these Kidnapping cases or accidental death cases happen. What is the correct amount of emotion to show not to arrouse suspicion. If you let it all out are you playing it up to the cameras. If you are stoic, are you an emotionless robot. I think either way some observers will say it wasn't natural and therefore they are guilty.
The problem is that often the kidnappers are related to the family or a family member is guilty and it re-enforces these random judgements. I would be willing to bet that you can't blindly pick out guilty and not guilty kidnappers/murdrers from the press conferences asking for their kids back. As such it is just insulting to those who really did just suffer a tragic loss.
