This is especially true if the parent is one of two things: Deemed "respectible"- well off white collar professional, who got the right connections and rich enough to keep the story out of the papers. And its especially true if the parents are extremely poor: because the underclass adults in American society don't matter and their children matter even less. We don't have to look across the water for hypocricy when it comes to the sexual abuse of children. Remember that female who got her johns by hitch-hicking and killed them? She was put to death. She was sexually abused all her childhood by family but nobody gave a damn, she was white trash. Turns out plently of people were aware; her teachers, even her own mother. Nobody seems to wonder how society ignored her situation (is it her fault she's born poor?) until she became a monster we where forced to deal with after she started killing people. She wasn't a sympathetic figure: A hard women who'd lived a hard life who hated men, and a lair to boot. Let's hope Italy deals with that error but how about we focus on the needs of our children right here?
