Tolerance Kills 3 Children

Camden, NJ June 2005- A horrible death befalls three boys ages5-11. The three were found dead from suffocation intrunk of abandoned car on an empty lot 3 days after they went missing. As a matter of background, Camden New Jersey is the poorest city in New Jersey and has had the highest murder rate in recent times. I can remember when old refrigerators with locking doors would trap a child playing inside and he would be discovered by someone after it was too late. Today the new urban menace is the abandoned car which isprevalent in poor areas. The most disturbing feature of this story is that NOBODY checked this car even though it was exactly where the children were last seen playing and it was just across the street from their home. Where should the blame of incompetencebe started? The next question that must be asked is whose car is this and why was it abandoned in an empty lot? Could this be a stolen car that the police never got around to checking on? Was it a neighbors car who could not afford to repair it? In some neighborhoods anything goes, while in others the police will tow an unregistered car right out of the owners driveway. This is just another example of our modern sense of tolerance which calls for a non-judgmental position in regard to quality of life issues. However, the tolerance of this simple quality of life issue most certainly had a hand in killing these three children.
