Of course the health of the kid is what's most important. Unfortunately that wasn't the reason for this post, or the tone of it.

The intention was to deliberately provoque the conversation we're having, which naturally steers away from the appalling act. 

But don't think for one moment I am not incredibly mad and saddened about what happened to her. As many people I'm sure are. 

 

As a society we have grown accustomed to violence. Rape is heinous, no doubt, but so is gun violence, and you hear nothing until some crazy individual commits mass murder. However, as you pointed out so correctly, this thread is not about the little girl, and it has nothing to do with violence.  I am sure you can see right through the fake concern.

I completely agree. It isn't right, but we are mostly desensitized to it. The more something happens no matter how horrific, the more you tend to get used to it unfortunately. I am from a small town and noticed that when I moved to Mexico City, people there didn't generally cared about others or what happened to them. Kidnapping, burglars, murder, car crashes? no problem if it wasn't happening to you, and even then ''it's part of life in the city and you had to be glad it wasn't worse'' 

Mass shootings and other forms of attacks are becoming so common, it's scary. And circling back to the news, what happened to this little girl is beyond terrible, and when I think of all the girls and boys that are part of sex rings, kidnapped and abused for years I can't help but feel depressed about the world we live in.
