miror miror on the wall, who is the most notorious of them all?

Let us first define who are the criminals in the cases that i have identified as notorious and inhumane. For the rape in Nanjing, the criminals here are mostly the generals who allowed such an atrocity to take place and the soldiers who seem to be 'carrying out orders'. As for child abuse, the criminals here are parents and traffickers of child prostitutes. Needless to say, Mao Mao's ill-treatment of the people is none other then Mr Mao himself. (applause...) In fact there is no achievement and nothing to be proud about for being the mastermind of these atrocities.

To me, i feel that the most notorious crime here is the abuse of children. Out of all the different kinds of abuse a child can receive, the most notorious one is the sexual abuse of the child. In my previous blog entry on child prostitution, i have already posted the horrifying acts done by men to children and deep feelings of the child. This atrocity is the worse because it is a conspiracy of silence and this crime is not easily curbed.

Though it may be argued that the rape in Nanjing and the human torture in China has a more disastrous and dire impact on the people, these crimes are those in the past and they can be put to stop with measures taken such as the overthrowing of Mao Mao and the confrontation by other Nations to Japan. Whereas the crime of child abuse, especially child prostitution, is hard to stop as it is a conspiracy between men and the authorities. Also, the children are innocent parties being betrayed by loved ones or trusted people.

In all cases, all the victims have livid and vivid memory of the hurtful past. However the Japanese minister has already adressed the issue of comfort women and apologised for the harm caused. Also, China is no longer in the state whereby people are being thrown into torture camps and having their organs trafficked. Child prostitution on the other hand is an upcoming crime which is hard to curb. Hence i feel that child abuse is the most notorious crime which attention needs to be given to. It will be unfair to the victims of atrocities but let us learn from our mistakes and live in harmony. a bloody affair is uncalled for. it will not do anyone good.
