View/download full-size photoPhotos of Katie McCarron
The McCarron family invites those who wish to keep Katie's memory alive to view and download these images, and to post them on their websites and blogs. They- and we - only ask that the images be used in remembering Katie as a beautiful, precious, and happy little girl. They, and we, do not approve of the pictures being used as part of a message suggesting that she was "in pain" or a "burden."
They do not wish for the photos to be used in any way suggesting Katie's death is associated with a "problem" arising from a lack of services, or a symptom of "desperation" felt by other families. Using Katie's picture in these ways would only be an insult to her memory and cause more pain to an already grieving family.
With the exception of the print edition of the Chicago Tribune (online story with no photos here) , no pictures of Katie McCarron have appeared in the coverage of her alleged murder by her mother. Katie's grandfather, Michael McCarron, has sent us these pictures taken back in North Carolina. Katie's return to Morton, IL after 20 months was brief - she was allegedly killed after only ten days. For more on Katie and how her family remembers her, please check out the discussion at Autism Vox. Michael McCarron has been discussing Katie, his family, his grief and his frustrations with other parents and autistic advocates. Check out our articles, and be sure to read "This was not about autism" and "Unhealthy to rationalize Katherine McCarron's death".
