I hang my head in shame, shame that we as a society can allow this to happen, not just to this little Innocent but to the thousands like him around the world. Our greed and selfishness has made us bereft of our humanity and creativity to deal with increasing situations like this. Even the voices of our spiritual and religious leaders is deafeningly silent when they should be leading us to prevent such tragic circumstances or at least to give us some substantial comfort. This image will haunt me for the rest of my life.
