They have been turned into monsters.

In 1991, 22 years ago, the body of a 4 year old girl was found beside a Manhattan highway in New York. The body was naked and bound and weighed just 20 pounds which was half the weight of an average 4 year old. There was no name and no child was reported missing. They named her Baby Hope. The police were very upset for the little girl and arranged a funeral for her, attended by hundreds of mourners. " This case really touched us, because she was just an innocent child, we all have kids or know them," said retired Detective, Jerry Giorgio. " I know it haunted me." For 22 years New York police kept her memory alive by visiting her grave. On the 22nd anniversary they again put up posters and announced a reward of $12,000 for information leading to the identity of this little girl. Finally, they received a tip off which led them to identify the mother of the child and match her DNA. Conrado Juarez, 52, a distant cousin of the father, was arrested for the murder of the little girl 3 days ago. He has confessed to raping her, suffocating her to death and then leaving her beside the highway in a cooler under cans of soda with the help of his sister, who has since died. Last week Assistant Chief of Police, Joseph Reznick went to her grave, as he has done many times before, and replaced a placard on the headstone which said, " The identity of this little girl is unknown " with another placard which read " Angelica Castillo ". This story is at once heart rending and heart warming, showing that New York police are human underneath all the guns they carry. Surely our police are just as caring? Two days back there was a stampede at a bridge leading to a temple at Datia in Madhya Pradesh, over 110 people died. Nothing new in that. Such tragedies happen regularly in India and the huge population means that hundreds die. What can the police do? Turns out that instead of helping people the police were throwing the dead and injured off the bridge to reduce the body count. Teenager Ashish, 15, told the police that his 5 year old brother, Golu was dead. The police told him," Now your brother is dead, why should you live on?" and threw him off the bridge. He was found unconscious with one leg broken. If Rathore and BB Mohanty were police chiefs we can imagine what officers under them will be like. Politicians control the police to cover up their own crimes thereby turning them into monsters. What hope for our children?
