The missing girls

Often, we see reports about missing teenaged girls. Sometimes it is reported that they returned home but without any information about why they were missing, if they were harmed and if there are interventions to protect, guide and counsel them. Sometimes there is no news and they become fleeting thoughts.

 Sadly, this seems to have become a disturbing norm in our society. The people seem too calm. The interventions to save our children seem almost nonexistent but perhaps there are those who think that many of the missing girls do not need saving. We often see disparaging remarks when these girls are missing. They are often deemed culpable in their own demise. This society often reveals itself to be unsympathetic and insensitive that even the children sometimes do not receive grace.
