All I keep reading about daily now is another gang rape, murder, stabbings and unspeakable, evil things being done to children, even babies. It seems to have got worse over the year, things that were quite rare are now becoming commonplace, why, what’s happening in the world?

My dd is only 7 and i’m becoming scared for her future

Please tell me that the vast majority of people are still good and decent

It's because gore sells really. I don't think stats actually suggest increase in these crimes. But they generate clicks and readership
