From: The Society of Professional Journalist' Code of Ethics
Minimize Harm
Ethical journalists treat sources, subjects and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect.
Journalists should:
*Show compassion for those who may be affected adversely by news coverage. Use special sensitivity when dealing with children and inexperienced sources or subjects.
*Be sensitive when seeking or using interviews or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief.
*Recognize that gathering or reporting information may cause harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance.
*Recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than do public officials and others who seek power, influence or attention. Only an overriding public need can justify intrusion into anyone's privacy.
*Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity.
*Be cautious about identifying juvenile suspects or victims of sex crimes.
*Be judicious about naming criminal suspects before the filing of charges.
*Balance a criminal suspect's fair trial rights with the public's right to be informed.

Being a first responder on a local fire department for over a decade. We are taught scene safety first and foremost. Nothing gets better by making more victims. While I almost always stop when alone, I always use my vehicle to protect me from oncoming traffic when I stop. Flashers/strobes running. Saying that, I almost never stop with my wife or when my kids were in the vehicle. Sorry but I can't use my vehicle to protect myself with my family in it. I have stopped once at a bad accident when I was able to get my vehicle off the road far enough to feel my wife was safe. That leaves me unprotected. I really recommend that most people call on their cell. That is probably the best thing that you can do to help and give dispatch as much information as you can. How many victims you can see, if they are moving/screaming. I know it sounds not too compassionate but screaming victims are living victims with fully intact vital functions.(airway, breathing, circulation) It's the ones not moving or saying anything that you have to check first. I will also mention that there are many unseen dangers at accidents that people don't think about. Newer vehicles have airbags located all over the car. All airbags have explosives that can go off without warning after an accident. You can watch several firefighter on youtube being injured by them if you look. There is also tremendous amounts of electrical current in the hybrid cars, can kill you in a heartbeat. Struts are also located all over the cars and can if they overheat shoot like a bullet. We had a firefighter have a strut shoot through his leg causing a very bad injury. Another had both legs broken by the struts on the bumper let go and hit his legs. Again, this isn't all inclusive but just a warning that there are many dangers to be aware of. Broken power poles with downed lines are another tremendous danger. I was almost killed because even though I knew a pole was down. The car was far off the road and I jumped over a guard rail several times before realizing that the power-lines had fallen on the guard rail a couple of hundred feet further up. You should also be aware of an accident I saw where a 65,000 pound, lime green, engine tank, protecting the scene of an accident was hit hard enough that they moved it three feet. They said, "they didn't see it". I have also seen people race down the emergency lane of an interstate that was closed because we were landing a helicopter. They apparently were much more important then everyone else who stopped. Fortunately they were stopped by the state police before there was a bigger problem. Seriously, be careful.

i wish i had been trained along the way to respond to emergencies, both as a parent and an ordinary, private citizen. i have been fortunate not to have come upon, witness or to have been part of a terrible accident or emergency. since i lack training, i'm pretty sure i could actually have a heart attack from fear and shock.

For me it was shaking. Lots of shaking, fortunately it was after the event was over. It's from the adrenalin dump. 8-)
It gets better the more you do it. I hardly shake at all anymore, even on bad calls. 8-) I never even use to get too upset with the dead people calls. What would really rip me up was to me was to watch the grief of the families. Kids, were always the worse. Those are the calls that would keep me up at night and the second guessing that everyone does to themselves.
Trust me the fire departments and EMS services would love to have you. That goes for all of you. They will train you for free and then keep training you. They would love to have you. Just stop in sometime, they will be very happy to have you. Just getting the certification is half the job. Actually doing it for a few years will train you so you are actually useful and not overwhelmed. I know it was a good year before I felt truly competent. Seriously, anyone would be very welcome.

In reference to this inflammatory post by Renner:
"Top Commenter on Family Forum is Suspect in Another Murder,"
as of noon today, the "commenter," initials JV, was no longer a member of the Maura Murray Missing Group Facebook page.
