The kid is more an Anastasia, not entirely un-tragic, but there's something disgusting about focusing massive sympathy on one rich kid while ignoring untold suffering of others.
I've never actually seen that movie, but the kid originally wasn't even supposed to be on it. I do wonder if his dad made him/bullied him into it. I don't really hold children in the same regards as their parents. I think everyone is just fascinated because it's so rare and stupid. Balloon boy wasn't rich and that was all over the news.
