        This. This story. Should be told over and over. Put in history books. This is what is wrong with humans. Ignoring the suffering of others. Of a child. We are all guilty.

        This is one of the reasons why I always go out of my way to care about others. I won’t stand by while someone needs help. It’s difficult and it places a lot of responsibility on your shoulders but leading by example may be the only way to create long term change
