I understand the anger about media's use of this poor boy (and especially his family!). Yes, it is abuse of personal rights...not to mention the fact how his family has to feel about it, he will stick in their memory as this horrible corpse and the boy, who he was will get off their minds. He will just be "this dead refugee boy who lay on the beach" the western media used, to creep us out, to make us feel guilty. But this urge of discussion, of defense shows that it works somehow, that it elucidates that this war REALLY IS cruel, that there are people dying! And when we start thinking over, it don't matters what was the trigger, which picture was the actuator.

QuilesART holds a mirror up to society and in my opinion, does this job very well! Noone starts discussing when he draws a noname hungry black child in obvious positions. Just when the cildren get names, it starts to be disrespectful. I, personally, found a little bit my peace with this szene, when I saw this image. Tototro looks so caring, and without the context, you can think the boy is just sleeping. It is peacefull and cruel at the same time, because Aylan never had a childhood, no time for fantasy. I hope so much, that one time, society could be like Totoro to our helpless neighbors and I really appreciate this image.

My english knowledge is not sufficient to go deep...but I hope you understand my attitude.
