Does this sound like some crime reporter on a local news channel? Pardon me if it does. I wanted to start off with a list of incidents and details I was aware of them. Though it seems like only the criminal directly involved is responsible for such bloody events, there are many things(?) that are indirectly more relevant causes for these to happen.

1. Negligence of school authorities
2. Nonperformance of crime control officers
3. Carelessness of Government
4. Negligence of parents
5. Ignorance of victims
6. Fear in the affected
7. Lack of responsibility in public
8. Lack of fear of law in crooks
9. Inability of the affected to fight for justice
10. Last but first, media which explicitly shows incest and lust.

    I can go on with number of such reasons.

    But, now I ask myself.. “Am I living in a civilized society? “

    “Is there something on this earth that is impeccable and is not responsible for these to happen?”. If you happen to find one such a thing, please tell me.

PS:- Coming next is a post that contains the ideas and thoughts I could think of to prevent such things in coming future.
