Someone is sending outrageously offensive emails to parents whose children died from cancer.
Channel 2’s Tom Jones obtained copies of the emails, which some of the parents received on the day their children died.
“I mean, I cried when I read these. They’re just, they're awful,” said Kristin Conner, executive director of Cure Childhood Cancer.
She says her stomach turns just thinking about the insensitive emails sent to parents.

“I mean, I cried when I read these. They’re just, they're awful,” said Kristin Conner, executive director of Cure Childhood Cancer.
She says her stomach turns just thinking about the insensitive emails sent to parents.
“It is sick,” she said.
The emails taunt parents, offering gruesome details about death and their kids.
“That someone would have to read this kind of thing hours after they've lost their child it just, it makes me angry and extremely sad,” Conner said.
The organization's Facebook page was hacked over the weekend.
She says she warned families it serves about the breach and that's when parents told her they had been getting the emails.
Conner says someone is trolling sites where parents offer updates about their child's condition and then sending the offending emails right after the children die.
She thinks the person sending out the emails has no heart.
“I mean, I think it's somebody who is just evil and it's just repulsive and it's just sick,” Conner said.
Connor says there needs to be a coordinated effort to get law enforcement involved to stop this.
