The story of Joslin Smith, a missing child from the quiet town of Saldanha Bay, has stirred deep feelings of fear, hope, and grief in her community. While a book about the case aims to keep her memory alive, many worry it crosses a line, turning tragedy into profit and hurting those who still mourn. This debate shines a spotlight on the tough questions about respecting privacy, honoring pain, and deciding who should tell such heartbreaking stories. As the search for Joslin continues, her absence reminds everyone how delicate and complex the line is between sharing and exploiting life’s darkest moments.
