I think we are very close in what we believe. You are just more cautious than I in drawing conclusions. I usually am- but for me the wellbeing of the child is tantamount and I would rather err on the side of protecting minors. Did his parents let him see her? Did they know she was released? What were they thinking??All the strange factors that go into situations like these. my guess is there is more than one unstable personality involved here!!! Where my boys are concerned--you're right. Dan and I agreed last night we would rip her innards out and stuff them down her throat. (Gosh---do you think that's rational?)

Placing moral certainty on it. If you pick at the loose threads enough, there is very little which can be imbued with moral certainty. I suspect the existentialists were able to sincerely deconstruct the moral imperative of something as obvious as the will to live. I think morality needs to evolve out of consensus - as a way to balance our native self-interest with the not always intuitive benefits of living in a group, like a family, tribe or suburb. Those who seek moral absolutes often either find God (or make him by sheer force of will!) or slump into a despairing sea of moral relativism. Finding the middle road, building a sense of ethics which is solid enough to provide honor and decency, yet flexible enough to admit new learned things - oy that's a toughie.
