4. horrific tragedy that did not receive enough media attention

I just can’t wrap my head around how these tortures have been going on for a while unnoticed...Neighbors, school, doctor, etc.? Seems like a systematic failure; the state was not able to protect the child from monsters.
And by the way, to those people who think Kevin Hart did enough to apologize for his ‘joke’ on violence against gay children - always remember Anthony Avalos. People like hart collecively contributed to this and other incidents normalizing violence against lgbt children. I don’t even know what’s worse this or a suicide (9 y.o. boy): https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/27/denver-elementary-student-suicide/amp/
