Sure, she&#8217;ll be reared by her grandparents. I get that. What is more difficult to get is what will become of her as she comes of age.<\/p>\n<p>Will she ever know of the tragedy that her parents, Tafsheen Malik and Syed Farook, inflicted on the world? <em>Should<\/em> she know what her parents did?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll let others debate that one.
