Daz, I agree. These terrible crimes have been going on for centuries, even longer. I honestly believe that a child in Australia today is in no more risk of being abducted (or worse) than 50 or 100 years ago. But we are fortunate enough these days to be more aware of it as well as the children.
This does not make the latest tragedies in Queensland any less horrendous.
Overall I think everyone will agree with the fact that society in general has become more violent and less compassionate and tolerant.
It's such a large and emotional topic.
Regards,
Stephen
