increase in child abuse since RvW,

That is a change in the social mores regarding child abuse. Correlation doesn't mean causation unless you belief that SuperBowl outcomes REALLY cause market fluctuations. I suppose if enough people believe it, it could happen.

When I was a kid, I saw kids were beaten in the streets. No one said anything. I knew a kid that was punched by his dad with a closed fist. No one would tolerate this now.

I think your statistic is flawed. It's like saying that hate crime is up because in 1900 there was none reported.

Those who are less developed, or sickly, or dependent would, to varying degrees, be less worthy.

That is precisely what pulling someone off life support is a statement of. Their worthiness.
