Reasons to post a Photo of a Dead Child from Aleppo

Reasons to post a Photo of a Dead Child from Aleppo Omran was a Syrian boy and African and Afghan and Salvadoran: Our son defeated in front of the sea after chasing the dawn, our little brother cleft by the blows of the crab that was death, nothingness, emptiness, a thick river of icy water. Our child like all innocent children whom they bombed in Aleppo and are no longer: I want nothing more from this world. Everything I dreamed of disappeared. I need to bury my children and sit next to them until I die. Omran survived hunger, despair and thirst, but not to the Syrian government, not the world who did not know, or care, how to save him.
