What is wrong with people today?
This is a rhetorical question for I can tell you what is wrong. It is in the body of the story here http://tinyurl.com/cylt9. A grandmother in San Antonio is convicted of starving her grandchild to death and it is the governments fault according to the woman's defense attorney. The worse part of this story....apparently the child's parents and extended family aided grandma in starving the 4 year old child.
Then in Chicago, you have a man who brutally stabbed his daughter and her friend to death for a supposed disciplinary violation http://tinyurl.com/e34zy . His excuse was that the girl refused to come home. This father was recently released from jail. He was in jail because he violated his probation after he was sentenced for attacking the mother of the dead child with a chainsaw!
When are we going to quit excusing bad behavior in people? When are we going to start holding people accountable for their actions? How many more of our precious children are going to have to suffer (like Jessica Lundsford) because we are coddling the murders and rapists that are currently walking among us? We have to start protecting our children! Locking away sex offenders and violent domestic offenders for life is a good start. Taking responsibility for our own actions - and holding others responsible for theirs is an even better second step!
