Be real. There is no solution. It's always been the same and why would it change now or in the future
We're animals and that's fact. Sure, we have the neo cortex, but that's simply made us more inventive both in the crimes we commit and the ways we evade discovery and punishment
Solutions so far proposed in this thread range from appealing to people's better nature, making politicians suffer (heh heh), to getting gangs of unemployed, imaginary-hero fathers to 'patrol' and ensure justice -- like the old cowboy-hero movies
The weakest have always been victims and that includes smaller, weaker, pacifist males & women, children, animals
The strong, whether mentally, physically, financially and those in positions (however minor) of authority, have always preyed upon those they consider to be weaker
just as occurs in the animal kingdom
Women are just as guilty as men
Warzones aren't just in battle-fields. They're also in cities, towns, suburbs, streets, between neighbours and of course, schools
We're all in danger, all the time
We cannot protect everyone, everywhere
In order to survive, children are forced to devise survival tactics which of necessity, they tailor to best suit their personal circumstances. It puts stress on kids from an early age. Often, their survival techniques are learned and honed in their earliest years against their own parents, siblings and wider family
more than a few parents are brutal sadists. Just as many are narcissists who select one child as their personal whipping-post while they play the other siblings against their victim
weak, terrified children will adopt the role of dobber against their siblings. And of course, that's a technique they will utilize life-long, quite often. Or do people believe dobbers emerge only in adulthood, just as they must imagine bullies only become such as adults?
Teachers never leave school, most of them. Does no one ever question why some people evade real-life and remain in the 'teaching industry' life-long? I have several in my own family and I don't have a high opinion of them. None of them became teachers because they 'loved children' or wanted to 'help children'. They became teachers because it's a basically risk-free career, for most. Steady work and financial security without having to get dirty and able to enjoy lots of time off. The majority of teachers are, in my opinion, the last people I'd pay to be around children all day, able to influence developing minds and personalities. Imo, anyone seeking employment as a school teacher should be required to prove they've been employed successfully in the real world for a minimum of five years. So expecting school teachers to ensure the safety of children is unrealistic, imo. And for those who take objection to my opinions, maybe you haven't listened to what school teachers say about other people's children
To continue in that vein, anyone who imagines patrols of hero-fathers as being a solution to problems mustn't have seen and heard those same hero-fathers on the sidelines of a six year old footy game. And the mothers are as bad
The security guard (thug in fake uniform) who was paid to ensure the safety of kids in a supermarket playground was arrested for snatching a couple's small girl, dragging her into a dark tunnel and showing her his organ. Security guards are guys off the steet stuffed into a mickey-mouse uniform. Might as well drag any random guy off a street and entrusting him with small kids' safety. Might as well get an Uber driver who's been sacked for sexual molestation of a passenger
No. No one is going to adequately protect your child apart from you, and that's if you're not a narcissistic or sadistic or drug addicted head-case, that is
otherwise, your child is on its own. Against the world and everything in it
Most children survive. Only a few escape undamaged, unscathed
It's not a pollyanna world, never was. That's why we have Golden Books and Disney -- pretend worlds, the world as we'd like it to be. The reality is far uglier
this world intends for children to die along with everyone and everything else which dies. That's the reality. And those who don't die get hurt, just as everyone and everything else is hurt
this world is no respecter of childhood. Attacking dogs see kids as easy prey, as do many adults, paedophiles, extended family members and parents themselves. Other children, older kids, bigger kids -- they're certainly no respecters of childhood as an institution
For many children, life is a living hell. If they make it through, most of them snort in derision when they hear their childhood was 'the best years of their life'
for many, life improves when they get away from school, from teachers and from parents
