  1. The report excluded the ethneticy of the perpetrator. People do care, and the message needs to be clear as to who to watch out for.

  2. Thank G_d that the mom and children weren’t physically harmed. They must be traumatized. My two cents, the race of the perpetrator was disclosed. Should we be suspicious of everyone different than oneself?
