Mili, Mina and many more

We are continuously failing to protect our children. Those of us who are parents perhaps can easily understand the immense horror of knowing that someone is out there who can rape and brutally murder your child and the law enforcing agencies are too incompetent to arrest the culprits, let alone bring them to justice. How can we tolerate such crimes? How can we let these slip away to oblivion? How can we exact justice for them? We must not stop talking about this. Just imagine the statistics of one report that collected "reported information" in a single month of August 2004 which showed 217 young girls were tortured, of which 50 were killed, 42 raped, 34 badly injured, 29 kidnapped, 18 sold into prostitution, and 13 attacked with acid. How long will this situation continue?
