For those of us who have children or grandchildren this kind of news sends shock waves into communities. Tragically it continues to happen and the public reaction is always as what would be expected; one of outrage, vengeance and justifiably so. "We'll fix that guy so he'll never do it again." Problem is someone else will. That is of course unless we get serious about taking the bull by the horns.
My belief is the problem lies in the field of medical science. We need to find out exactly just what is it that makes these people tick? It's not normal to inflict harm on an innocent child. What went wrong in the functioning of the brains in these people. Surely there would be warning signs in their childhood or somewhere along the way. It would be interesting to know the history of these individuals. We know so little about the functioning of the human brain.
This problem will continue to fester until more money gets pumped into medical scientific research to hopefully and finally come up with a solution to put an end to a most destructive and horrific nightmare ever to be inflicted on a parent. Ron J.
