Alex, I don't disagree with you about the fact of it, that it's a crime, and especially with the implications of your "who was teaching them." I didn't mean to imply that we should all just forget it, or that it was harmless. I feel deeply for the victims. My point was about the larger context, that this generation of kids is faced with some huge problems that my generation didn't have to deal with; and that the grownups, all of us, need to help them, and especially help them  avoid these problems. 

So I apologize for the misunderstanding. My bad. You're right and I agree. I should have made that more clear.
