When I attended Shadow Mountain High (the second year after it opened) in Pheonix we had a mandatory Social Studies class. During the semester a Social worker from the state and Paramedics visited the class. The Social worker brought slides of abused children. Shocking was the kindest thing you could say about it. About halfway through the slide show I realized that they were autopsy slides. Those images are with me still today. It's not a modern problem. It has been with us for along time.
You can say that it's our day and age that causes so many to do this, or you can see that it's just that we are actively looking for it now. We no longer tolerate this kind of behavior. It's a good thing that we are collectively sickened by something like this. We can do something about it. Just keep your eyes open and watch out for the little ones.
There is a country song currently on the radio. "Concrete Angel". Listening to the words and watching the video will break your heart.
