I could see heavily traumatized, grieving people having lost their own new born child clinging to every bit of (even irrational) hope. And therefore claiming it is their child instead of having to face reality and living with the fact that their own child died or is still missing under the rubble. This is speculative of course but calling them parasites is uncalled for.

Anyone who tries to steal someone else's baby is a fucking parasite. If they are so selfish and absorbed in their own grief that they disregard the grief of the BABY'S ACTUAL FAMILY that THEY would be causing -- not some natural disaster -- they can go to Hell. You don't comp your grief by making grief for others. I stand by calling that parasitic.
