This is heart-breaking. So many young lives changed forever. I hope the right changes happen to stop this.

I wonder if us humans are getting worse, or if things have always been so gut-wrenching, and there is just more awareness of such things now due to journalism, social media, etc.

Any reading of history indicates that people have gotten less violent and callous to suffering over time.

But it's easy to global awareness of bad stuff to warp your perspective. It's the "things are better than ever before yet everyone things we're living in the worst time ever" phenomenon.
