Headline after new headlines of the latest sex crime committed by Pakistan men to rape a child male and female. Flippantly penned as if it is part of the culture. This social injustice is being glossed over. Hold the people who are charged with the security of the people to higher standards. Government officials must be transparent. The public requires a full show of communicating about the ongoing investigations. Police should come forward with daily reports for the public on the coverage of this case. Law enforcement needs to be open for all to see concerned unity. Prove they have the intent to prosecute any person who carries out harmful, illegal, or immoral acts. Police must be vigilant in throwing out the net to catch these reprehensible animals prowling amongst the citizens.
