Honestly, nothing is "shocking" anymore, at least not to me. On the 21st century world stage, we really don't have things like principles, ethics, accountability, etc. The best way I can sum up what we do have is to cite the famous takeaway from the classic Melian Dialogue: "The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

@@bz3105 understandable if children come from a stable home.
