very long read, but must read + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://res.dallasnews.com/interactives/2013_October/lauren/images/lede2.jpg) In a photo of Lauren taken at Children’s Medical Center Dallas after her rescue on June 11, 2001, she had the skeletal look of a Holocaust survivor. She was no bigger than a 2-year-old, and hers was the worst case of child abuse in the hospital’s history. She also had teeth missing and genital abnormalities, and her body was trying to shut down.

Why would I? There's 7 billion people on this planet, and we get news from all over the world nowadays. It's just a matter of probability that there's some twisted, sick fuck out there doing something like that. News like this are why my grandmother thinks that behind every bush there's a sex offender. | ||

It's terrible that these kind of horror stories happen but the coverage and sharing is done for the wrong reasons. | ||

i dont think it's fair to think is just about something terrible that happened - i think they try to really look at a lot of different things and it challenged the way i initially thought about things. i thought the article does a good job in trying to fairly portray everyone involved. | ||

U know I actually value curiosity and informing myself, yes this is a sad fucked up story, but why shouldn't I read it or share. Does it have to be all candy and roses my whole life, should I ignore all the suffering people in third world countries, stories of rape and abuses, wars, countries destroyed by politics and corruption and instead read the latest good american story | ||

Valuing curiosity, in this instance, is just an excuse for wanting to peak over the fence at the fucked up neighbors. I'm sorry you're blind to any ground between candy and roses and this sort of thing. Of course we should be informed on wars, corruption and mass suffering, as they affect a lot of people and may be prevented. Instead, these isolated sick crimes are reported more for hits from bored voyeurs/shock seekers than anyone else. Sick, unusual crimes get way more coverage than stories about the socially relevant issues you list. You claim you want to be 'informed' and yet fixate on the more shocking stuff that interests you. If only more mundane suffering had the same allure. | ||
