I just read a writeup of an old news. The girl was jogging with her sister with a few paces between them and that was when the elder sister was snatched and murdered. The rapist was then released on bailed and escaped to another country. He even applied for the permanent resident there. Thank goodness they managed to nabbed him when he returned after about 6 years.
It is sad that there are such evil people who harm others just to satisfy their impulses.

Can't even say they are human.
True, animals don't kill or harm for pleasure. By the way, the new round of exquisite corpse has already started in the community #DreamSteem

I used to roam the streets in my childhood years. Though I encountered quite a few perverts but thank goodness nothing worse than that happen. I must be so lucky.
I believe that years ago, such serious cases were less frequent, at least when committed by strangers.
I remember that as a child, I could always go to the neighborhood store alone. If I were a mother, I would never send a child alone, not even to the corner store.

Me too. I wouldn't let my child get off my sight, if I'm a mother. It's a crazy world out there where they can snatch the kid in a shopping mall with their mother. There was this case where the kidnaper brought along change of clothes for their target and they also shaved off the child's head to make them unrecognizable.
I agree, the world is a dangerous place, even though it should be a paradise. Sometimes I think countries like China, with strict police controls and constant cameras, are the best option for a world like this.
By the way, great entry in the exquisite corpse challenge! Thanks for participating!

Yes, I agree that China has a good system in place for that though there are many in different parts of the world felt it's intrusive. Of course we need our freedom and privacy but there's just too many bad eggs around us taking advantage of that, hurting others and committing crimes.
I like that you used Poe's passage for that. Looking forward to seeing how the story would unfold. Thank you for organizing the challenge.
Sure, but if we think about it, it's like wanting to give all its rights to the tiger while doing the same to the gazelle. If sanctions alone deter some people from doing bad things, that right to privacy can be misused.
I like Poe too; he was one of the first authors I bought when I earned my own money! Thanks to you for participating! Have a nice day!

There are always bad actors looking for those loopholes. It's not just about writing official rules; they have to be designed properly, managed, and continuously checked to close those gaps. Our government frequently introduces seemingly good laws or rules, but never bothers to check them inside out or manage them properly, which just allows people to misuse them further. It's so frustrating.
There's a series that's written based on Poe's work if you are interested. THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER.
Wishing you a great day ahead
