(An adaptation of a comment into a half fiction)
A child is missing.
I am many steps removed from her family, so I am going to say something quite difficult.
They shouldn't be releasing pictures of the man that is accused for her disappearance.
Fine, if they find him guilty, then show his picture.
But he is still only accused at this point.
I may not want him on the streets, but I do not want to see his face.
Any crime involving children sends people into a hysterical frenzy, in a way, somewhat understandably.
However, in succumbing to hysteria innocent people get hurt.
It has been proved time and again.
Name check: Diplock courts, The 2006 terrorism act and detention without trial.
When are we going to learn from history?
