Christian Wihtol-

  Here's some advice on good journalism- If you cannot locate the whereabouts of an individual, why make assumptions on where they live? If you do not know where they are, you do not know where they are. It angers me to see an article that spends a good portion talking about/naming someone that you don't even know if he's relevant! You bring him in to talk about his disabilities and dance around the idea that this is his fault because he is disabled. First off, you don't  have confirmation of where he lives, yet you basically blame him. Second,  you make this common assumption that those with disabilites cannot function properly and therefore can't act normal. You don't directly say it, but why else would it be talked about so many times? Could you imagine what this artical would say if he wasn't disabled?

I don't know Zach and I don't even live in Eugene. But I read this article and it disturbs me, especially after your  comment. You owe the Childers an apology.
