ES- what a horrible thing to have happened to your sister. I would hope the paramedics/police were actively involved in attending to her. To think that they would have just stood around, gawking, taking photos, would be difficult to imagine.

While this woman at the mall was not injured, seemingly, the mall personnel did nothing. I would hope if she laid face down in the fountain, or fell to the floor on the, likely, marble like surface, they would have responded differently. In either event, including your sister's, I do think it in poor taste to publicize these photos/videos.

Again, as I stated in my earlier post two times, I don't think it is appropriate litigation. BUT, from a legal perspective, I can understand it completely.

As to making the world a safe place, when others might not do their part, I can only tell you there is a whole body of law on this issue: premise liability. It isn't as cut and dried as some might think.
