Family’s Urgent Request for Privacy
This part was bolded in the original statement for emphasis:
Please Stop Harassing Our Family
The family made a very clear demand to both media and the public:
What They’re Asking People to STOP Doing:
- Lingering outside their home – No reason for anyone to be there
- Following family members – Leave them alone when they go out
- Photographing Perez’s children – This is completely unacceptable
- Photo agencies buying/publishing photos of the children – Don’t profit from this
Their Exact Words:
"There is absolutely no reason for members of the media or the public to remain outside the family’s home. We again respectfully ask members of the media to leave the home and surrounding area, stop following family members, and cease photographing Perez’s children."
Why This Matters
Mental Health Awareness
This situation highlights how serious mental health crises can be, even for public figures who seem "okay" on the outside.
Privacy During Crisis
Families dealing with medical emergencies deserve space – especially when children are involved.
Responsible Media Coverage
The family’s plea shows the harmful side of invasive journalism during personal tragedies.
