The intent was to capture someone in their moment of misery. Which, to me, is a 100% prick thing to do.
I entered this thread in response to several messages, which I found weird. I don't really care about the kid. I think it was always going to end up this way, since the media are hungry for sensations and this is an easy one for them.
I also find it disappointing how people continue accepting and forgiving poor behavior from fans, especially young ones. Paying for a match ticket doesn't absolve you of human decency.
