March 1, 2023: “It’s one (possible) death now, and we must never make it two.” That is one of the desperate calls for the public to hold their horses on the most uproarious criminal case at the moment.
The case involved young people who are heatedly criticised or even scolded on the social media with practically nobody to turn to. Criticism came from the gravity of the possible crime, what looked like repeated lies that apparently misdirected search and rescue and seriously-improper handling of a baby boy, who is still missing and feared dead as of today afternoon.
One lawyer even said that no age could justify some cruelty.
However, there are people who want justice to run its natural course and possible punishment to be handed down in due process. Social media condemnations, they say, are for adult suspects who have better judgement before, during and after a crime and cope with pressure a lot better.
