This is getting ridiculous with so many children being murdered. I hear now they found what they believe to be the body of the girl in New Jersey. It is getting to be every other week we are getting these cases - at least twice a month there is some missing baby, children kidnapped from their own home, children kidnapped on their way to school like JR., etc
Why is this keep on happening? It is getting to the point where you cannot leave children alone for a second, which isn't right either. Why shouldn't JR be able to walk to school without being harmed?
We as a society have to start preventing this. In this case, if it turns out the jogger attacks are related as well as the 8 year old boy, why wasn't more done to alert the public? Why no sketch?
We know for a fact that these perps do not stop, and they only escalate in intensity. We have to get them off the streets in the early phases. Peeping toms, killing animals, etc. are all early signs of this nonsense. We have to start to do something to stop all this, and it isn't fair to children to make their world a fortress just bc some perp has some kind of sick fantasy. But is there any alternative other than being w your kid constantly? This needs to stop.
It's a societal problem - economy is tough everywhere, people care more about themselves than about others, competition, lack of friendship, comradare, knowing your neighbors, close families, respect for human life, resources to help sick people, resources to protect people, especially children, run dry, no one has time for each other anymore because it's all about me.
I'm not wanting to portray a bleak outlook because certainly not everyone will experience this. It's just more difficult to have that support system, more than it used to be.
The other part is that people are sick of hearing about the Middle East, politics, the economy - the media needs something to grab people's attention.
Just my 2 cents.
