This is terrible. I don't understand the world sometimes. I feel for the child who survived... how sad and confused he must be. So many clues people must have missed. So many ways children fall through the cracks. Teachers miss what's happening at home. People don't want to get involved. And then people stand around and wring their hands and wonder why. It ticks me off sometimes.
