Our Society is Getting Worse

I can't even begin to understand how people can be so sick. How could Vanessa George treat children that way. Her profession would suggest that she is there to aid children's learning and help working parents by offering a service of child minding. But in effect she has caused much more harm than good. She must have traumatised those children, who she is refusing to name. Plus, she has probably caused so much hurt, anger and indescribable pain to the parents of those children, which becomes even more shocking to think that this is from a mother herself!! I just hope that she receives a sentence that reflects what she has caused.
Another issue I have with society is the fact that people can cause such pain and show no remorse. Headline in 'The Sun' today reads; 'Girl sees brother, 10 die in hit-run crash'. The boy was on his way home from the cinema when he was hit by a transit van. To which the driver abandoned the vehicle at the scene. My question is, how can people be so cruel as to leave the family of this boy, unaware of who caused their pain? They are being selfish not thinking of the people picking up the pieces. I really don't understand how people can be so cruel.


Moving on...I was reading through the Mc Nae's Law for Journalists and was intrigued to find that Causing Death by Careless or Inconsiderate Driving is an Either-way offence. (Which means; one triable either summarily at Magistrates Court or before a jury at a Crown Court.) I realise this is still very serious, however assault, common assault, battery and assault by beating are all either-way offences also. Does this mean in some way the cases are likely to be treated in the same way or is this simply 'the' proceedure to follow? I only ask because causing death by careless driving is, in effect murder, which is an indictable-only offence. I regard both of these offences as the unlawful killing of another human being. I guess the difference between them is the mens rea within each offence; murder is seen to be 'with malice aforethought', however the defendant who caused death by careless or inconsiderate driving, may not have had the intention to kill.
