Well - there was something once I recall her saying we could not confirm that, but it's still so passive or something.  I can't even figure it out.

I guess I think that this is one of those one in million cases.  Life is terrible for too many kids in DC, crammed in shelters or surfing on various relatives' good will for a while before moving on.  Our systems aren't set up to truly address this problem on large scale (and the systemic change it would take to do that means they will probably never change), and so of thousands of kids in this situation over the decade (say 5 years before and 5 years after the disappearance), and there's one case on something truly terrible that hits the media in a big way happening.  That means there's little incentive ot change.

Put another way, if everyone is responsible, no one is responsible.

I wonder if the age of the reporter means we're getting this sort of namby-pamby "who's to judge" type mentality, where every opinion is valid and no one can really render judgment?

I just really hope that the conclusion isn't "we're all to blame" because we accepted it.  [/quote]
