Is anyone here familiar with the cerebral cortex? it is the part of the brain that notices things. From the billions of things we perceive, it chooses which to bring to our attention. It mainly selects what we notice, according to goals we set. If we have a goal to buy a certain kind of car, we will see it each time one goes by, or notice ads in the paper about these cars... In this case, I believe it is essential to set some goals. People who do not set goals, and do not think better things are possible, tend not to notice them. They tend instead to reinforce what they have resigned themselves to. People who set goals, see the ways to achieve them. A certain amount of confidence is needed, and we have good reason to be confident. Until we know better, I believe there may still be children that could be rescued. There are a number of children, in photos, that have come up, it would be good to know the identity of, and have reasonable assurances, that they are okay. There is likely to be many more, in various stages of danger. I believe we need to set as a goal, looking at whether or not, any children can still be saved. The worst case, is that they are already gone, but if any can be saved, it would be a glorious result. I hope that there is some kind of legal incentive, that encourages anyone who has children they should not have, to hand them in for clemency, instead of panic.
