Anyone with children the age of this young man can feel the horror of it.

Certainly no one wants to place blame anywhere, but it is hard to understand why anyone would go there.

I feel for Otto's family. Such a loss.

They lure you into a false sense of security. I am so sad what happened to that kid, I wish he had never set foot in that evil place.
