Last week, horrendous reports that a five-month old baby girl died after being sexually abused ricocheted around the country producing shock and horror -- and fear that living amongst us are some who might commit such a heinous crime.
Thankfully, our fears were unjustified, though various officials are still investigating the circumstances surrounding this tragic death. Moreover, while the handling of this matter by health and police officials is under review, both appear to have acted out of an abundance of caution.
