I certainly understand the inclination to want to help and soothe one's child when they are miserable. Not saying I agree with those comments, but I do understand the motivation behind them.

This is a family that had made some bad choices, IMO. The fact that they gave their children everything that his money could buy, with no responsibilites whatsoever, was going to spell trouble, one way or another. And that they chose to live their lives completely and totally in the public eye couldn't have helped, either.
