I felt sad for Sarah Payne and her family that the front-page story "So sick", about an obviously offensive adult game, had to be accompanied by a picture of Sarah.
As Sarah's mother said in her emotional statement after the sentencing of Roy Whiting: "Now Sarah can rest in peace." This would be a good cue to stop using Sarah's photo in the media in connection with every story involving child abuse.
