Who are you to post this about my cousin? You have no right to stick this up on a website! This was not yours to do. My family deserves better than this!! I am outraged that anyone would want to publish this without any contact what so ever to her family! How dare you do this!! Do you not think of her daughter or her mother or the rest of her family seeing this?!!

From a PM I got

[moosella]

Tarrant County ME site is open to the public.

[Olivia]

Tarrant County ME site is open to the public.

That was my response to her! I haven't heard back.

[bekind]

I think what she means is that your choice to link a mugshot to this site was inappropriate. We all know the ME's info is public knowledge, but you are missing the compassion that goes along with posting things about someone that is other than their death on this site. This isn't called, "let me show you anything I can find on the internet about this person without taking their loved ones in to consideration" space. Just know that you are pouring salt all over people's open wounds by not respecting Stephanie's memory. Did you even know her??? Because if you did, that link you posted would have been the last thing that you would have said about her. And when her daughter gets old enough to stumble upon this page, I will directly refer her to you for questions about why you posted that.

[CanaryDiam]

Whether the mugshot was posted here or not, it is available on the internet and therefore will be seen by her daughter in the future regardless. No one here has sad anything negative about Stephanie, so I don't understand how anything posted here is inappropriate. It's not like someone went digging through paper files, scanned in her mug shot and then posted... it is linked, obviously, to a very public internet site which can be found under a google search of her name. This thread and it's posts have not added anything to the internet for her daughter to see that isn't already out there on the world wide web.

You make a valid point, however I still don't see the reason for a mugshot link to be posted on a page about her death. It's like when people gossip about others, I just see no reason for it. It had nothing to do with her death, which is what I thought this site was about.

[CanaryDiam]

But WE don't know her cause of death... or really any details about it other then the date, so we look at anything found on the internet to try and figure out what happened to her and others. On the flipside, if a friend/family member of Stephanie's had posted something positive on the internet... say, a blog about how wonderful she was or facebook postings about how much she was loved, that too would ultimately end up being linked here... we don't just look for and link the bad stuff, we link whatever is available. It's not about putting people down here, though it could be perceived as such to someone who hasn't scrolled around the site to really see what we are about. It's about the natural curiousity to understand why so many people are taken so young.

Btw, not sure if you are a relative or friend or whatnot, but either way I'm sorry for your loss...

It's always a shock when a family member or friend finds their loved one here. Same story everytime. We arent bashing anyone unless they are some pedo/murderer, etc. We see a lot of really sad, tragic stories here and so many people can relate to some of these deaths.

[nestlequikie]

I thought Stephanie had 2 daughters that would need an explanation from Olivia...

You are absolutely right, I'm not quite sure what this site is really about, except for what the name implies. Thank you for your condolences, Stephanie was my sister, and I did see that someone linked the obituary about her in the previous post as a retort to a statement made by an earlier post, not just as a positive post for Stephanie. Either way, I find it a little unsettling that there is a site out here full of random people posting about my sisters death in what seems a morbid fascination. You have not offended me, but before your response was here I have to admitI was put off. We are all trying to deal with this tragic, early loss, just like the rest of the families of people who have loved ones lives under a microscope of speculation on this site, and I think we are all just looking to make sure that Stephanie is remembered in as best of light as possible, instead of what little evidence the internet reflects as being her "life". I hope it is true, and your site does link the positive too. If I may put my two cents in, (which I guess I already have) I think that one of the major contributing factors of why there are so many people being taken so young is from a lack of humanity and compassion these days. We turn to the web, facebook, and all other forms of non-human interaction to get our "human interaction". What people really need is real connection, touch, understanding, and acceptance... regardless of whatever we think we know about others via facebook or this wide-world of binary coding. Thank you for the assurance that you have no malicious intent, and I hope that all of the other people on this site take this matter with as much consideration as you have.

[bekind]

As a family member searching for the obituary, I stumbled upon this, thinking that an obituary is what I was going to find. I understand that many people can relate to certain situations, and I can sympathize, but some postings are not appropriate or applicable to this site, which is where the "bashing" seems to play in. It seems that it was just one particlarly "curious" person who made a bad reflection on you guys as a group. We, as family, like all other families who lose a loved one, just want some peace, and would like to not see our loved ones who have passed be picked apart without the ability to defend themselves.

[bekind]

The private message was sent to me BEFORE moosella posted the mugshot.

Olivia, that is not true, I wouldn't have had the problem with the site (and I didn't days ago when I first saw it) if the mugshot link wasn't there. Plus you can very clearly see by the time stamps that the mugshot link was posted days before my post today.

[White trash bitchy blonde]

Bekind, I am so sorry for your loss. I have an older sister and I dont know what I would do without her. I don't even want to imagine what it would be like to not have her in my life.
This site does sound morbid to a lot of people but once you get to looking around, you will see soo many different kinds of discussions going on. Everything from tragic passings, to politics, weird or bizarre news, celebrity gossip, we talk about parenting, our animals, all kinds of things.

I was a lurker here for quite some time and then became a member. I have had my share of tragedy over the past 18 years but the last four years have been the hardest and MDS was my outlet and where I got alot of support.
I believe we have quite a few members here that came across this site just like you did and became regular posters here. There are also many people here that know how to find information about things we don't understand.
My great grandparents were murdered and because of members here, I was able to find out a ton of info on the topic because of their amazing search skills.

I hope you can see past any morbid weirdness, it's not like that. We see all kinds of things here and believe me, the positive things do get posted. I personally havent read the article on your sister but please feel free to talk about it here if you need to. A lot of times, people just need other support from other people who have been in similar circumstances.

Also, welcome to MDS.

I wasn't referring to your posts on this thread, I was referring to the private message that I received from someone who is apparently Stephanie's cousin on 1 July. From what I read, you were saying that the person who sent me the private message thought that posting the mugshot was inappropriate. However, as seen below, I got that message on 1 July and Moosella did not post the mugshot until days after.

Here is another obituary for her

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sta...?pid=158397588

Stephanie Michelle Whited, 28, of Irving, Texas, passed away June 27, 2012, leaving behind her most precious beautiful 2 year old daughter, Kayla, who she referred to as "perfect in everyway". Stephanie was a very loving, caring and compassionate young lady-she touched everyone she came across throughout her short life. Stephanie cared dearly for her little brothers Bryan & Kevin, as well as her little sisters Loren and Katie. She was very proud of her family and boasted how lucky she was in having them. Stephanie desperately cared for her Grandmother Frances Whited, who was her "second-mom" as Stephanie would say. Stephanie appreciated and felt she was a blessing in her life. Stephanie also loved her Grandfather Mario Molina who understood her no matter what. She often told him, she wishes she could have the Molina name because of how proud she was to have her mom, uncles and her "Grand-Molina's". Stephanie loved Angels and butterflies and relied on the bible everyday to see her through life. Stephanie befriended and cared for everyone she met. She was a perfect example when you hear, "Treat people like you want to be treated yourself". She did that indeed. Stephanie was in the process of writing a book, beginning a career in modeling where she won the talent contest singing, and was a very talented pool player. Stephanie worked for Jackson Hewitt, & Child Care Careers. Later, life became difficult for Stephanie when she developed Bipolar Disorder but her love for her family, especially for her daughter Kayla, never wavered and stayed strong until the end. Stephanie was born in Arlington, Texas to Monica Molina-Korman, Austin, Texas & David R. Whited, Fort Worth, Texas. Stephanie previously lived in Grapevine, Fort Worth, & Haughton, LA. Stephanie is survived by her daughter Kayla Harley Booker of Fort Worth, daughter Julia Wallace of Lexington, KY, her Mother, Monica Molina-Korman & Step- Father Henry B. Korman of Austin, TX, her Father David R. Whited of Fort Worth, TX, her Grandparents Frances & Clarence Whited of Irving, TX, her Grandparents Angelica & Mario Sergio Molina I of Southlake, TX, her Brother Bryan C. Whited & Fiance' Kalie of Austin, TX, her sister Loren Whited of Fort Worth, TX, her sister Katie & Aaron Joseph of Austin, TX, her brother Kevin Mario Korman of Austin, TX, & her sister Alynn Karnes of Boston, MA, her Uncle Marco & Aunt Vicki Molina of Houston, TX, Uncle Michael & Aunt Angie Molina of Lubbock, TX; Dr. & Uncle Martin C. & Aunt Lorey Molina of Austin, TX; Uncle Matthew & Aunt Erin of WestPoint, MS; Uncle Don & Aunt Jennifer Whited of Jacksboro, TX, and many loving nieces & Nephews, cousins & friends. A Memorial Service took place at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Grapevine, TX officiated by her cousin Father Arturo Molina of Dallas, TX. Honorary speakers for the family were her Uncles Marco A. Molina of Houston, TX and Dr. Martin C. Molina of Austin, TX. She was preceded in death by her Uncle Mario Sergio Molina, II. Contributions in Stephanie Michelle Whited's memory may be made to Any Baby Can of Austin, Texas at https://www.anybabycan. org/donate/ or your favorite charity . Stephanie always ended her conversations to her loved ones with, "te amo mucho con todo corazon". I love you too with all my heart...and miss you greatly.

Thanks WTB, I can completely understand the support aspect that this site has for people, especially considering that most people stumble on here for the same reason. I am sorry that you had to go through your great grandparents tragedy, but I am glad that you found some solice due to this site. I appreciate knowing that I might have been too quick to judge the moajority of people here, and for that, my apologies.

[bekind]

aaahhhh, my apologies, I thought you were refering to my post. I think all of her family is in shock, and is trying to find the best way to deal with the questions and loss. And I know, at least for me, that a site like this is so new to the game of life and death, that it might take a little time getting use to the idea.

Thank you. There is a lot that i would like to share about Stephanie, but I'm not sure that I'm ready to confront all of it yet. The great things are sometimes just as hard to share in situations like these, as the not so great things are in other situations. thank you though.
