Unacceptable not to tell her. Why her family don't think she should know...well I heard the reasoning on the news earlier, the father didn't want it to be positive or negative on her big brother experience...is still awful...she should be told, then have the right to decide how it affects her. Being famous worldwide for being the girl nobody told that her father had died is an extremely harsh thing to have to live with...
As ballin said, going on there when your father is dying of cancer is one thing...but they should tell her...after all the fact she knew he could die didn't stop her...so the fact he has died might not either....
They are playing with reality in a cruel, cruel way now. Shutting people in a house is one thing...altering their emotional stability completely afterwards for things they haven't brought upon themselves is just...well...I'm probably getting a bit too deep here...but sickening..
