Thankyou for your reply.

I'm hoping this is the case with us as nothing major information wise as been put on so far. I'm just wondering how long before another paper does the story. If no picture was put on can they still update and put one on or is that it after it's been published x

I think this was one of my biggest concerns about it been in the media it was shared by the police first (photo published, twisted beyond belief)

The first day it was on line I felt like it was day one all over again

But to be honest the next day I just thought well it's out there now and I have no control over it

We had no repercussions, the media had there 5 minutes of reporting my sons case and it soon became old news, I don't think of it at all now but of course it will always be a Google search away

You have got through this far so please try to not overthink about the media xx

Upset mum this was my main concern for ages but then as the sentencing got closer it was more to do what we could to keep him out instead of inside. It really is like the knock all over again wondering if people can tell from my face.

I'm just so scared others will do the story or it put on Facebook and everyone in the area chancing knowing

my son ended up with radio/local newspapers/fb/google search/police news websites (full name & our address) all ripping him apart.

We put on the tv and ignored it, I was terrified to say the least. But it came and it passed quickly onto news about some other poor sole.

grit your teeth and stay positive x

Thankyou for the advice.

I'm so scared of being in the house and leaving the house. My oh doesn't even live with us but nobody will care about that there are only myself and two young children here if they decide to come knocking
