About This Quote

Sometimes when you are in a situation that is truly awful, you can't help but think that it could have happened to anyone. The fact that it happened to this little boy makes it even worse. Little children are always in danger in this world, but when they are in danger in the most horrific way imaginable, it's particularly tragic. It reminds us of why we try to protect them -- they are so vulnerable.
