Normally I'm in favour of due process and suchlike...
But how does a parent maintain a veneer of civilisation when faced with information like this?

I must confess, that when faced with that story, I want to commit an atrocity on Geoffrey Portway. I think the euphemism is "inhumed with extreme prejudice" without anything like due process. And this cognitive dissonance doesn't sit easy on my conscience.
And then I think of the three lasses who recently escaped from their decade-long captivity, and I want the perpetrators of that crime to suffer a death of a thousand cuts.
How vile some humans are. And how, by their vileness, they taint the rest of us.
