SUFFER THE CHILDREN

The Newsday has an editorial about the plight of the nation's children, based on the murder/suicides.

Here's a quote:
"However, in too many cases of child murders, it appears that a more caring and efficient attitude on the part of the police or social workers or magistrates could have prevented tragedy."

What about the caring attitude of the media?
Of your own newspaper which published that horrific picture of seven year old Lily, who died on Father's Day 2006?

But the editorial continues:
"Yet, in these cases, it seems that such error is far too often rooted in an essential indifference to the plight of children."
