I'm actually close friends with the McCombs family, and while I never had the pleasure of getting to meet BJ (the child mentioned) I have heard story after story, and wanted to clear up a few things that were wrong in this post.
BJ was 18 months old at the time of the fire, and spent the next 17 months in the hospital, but he lived to be 8 years old.
another thing i feel the need to correct, Mrs. McCombs didn't re-post the photos, after the story hit national news, Myspace sent a letter of appology to her, and re-posted the photos for her.
I sympathise with that mother, and hope the photos showing the extent of burns to her child remain as a warning reminder, for those who have children of their own, just how ghastly accidental burns can be.

Regarding James Blunt, the writer's comments have no substance. I've looked at James' myspace, found some fantastic music videos, some great pics and other information but absolutely nothing offensive.
Well, if that's going to be MySpace's policy, to delete users upon complaint by an individual...

Then I shall make it my mission in life to have every user of MySpace deleted, in alphabetical order!

So, Aaron Aaronsen, you have been warned!
Myspace is an american company and in practice american companies would rather upset a family of a burn victim versus some stick-up-the-ass loser who is more likely to sue them over a picture of somebody they don't know nor will ever meet.

that would be (wasteof)myspace then...
Ohh. Get you! What has James Blunt done to earn your wrath? I'm no fan but leave Tank Commander Blunt alone.
