I have to wonder what it is they say to families in order to coerce them. Because if someone did that to me after losing a family member my first inclination would be to tell every single person I know what they'd just tried to do. Spread word far and wide to the point where you couldn't enact a media blackout because it had already made it all across the country and gone viral. Are they just threatening to shoot the families then and there in their own homes?
