Adam Herman went missing . . .

. . . in 1999. His adoptive parents never reported him missing. They "really rue the fact that" they didn't report him missing. Ya think? I mean, seriously, how do you not report that your 10 year old adoptive son - someone you've had custody of since he was 2 - went missing. Their excuse - well he ran away a lot and we just figured he was either with his biological parents or homeless. Okay, that statement is wrong on so many levels. What possible excuse could they have for not contacting the police or biological parents?

Is Adam alive or dead? Nobody knows at this point. Did his adoptive parents allegedly harm him? Nobody knows at this point. If he did run away, why not call the police or somebody? Why not do something to save a child?

I just don't understand a good portion of humanity any longer. It seems with each passing year a small portion of humanity moves further and further away from anything human-like. Adam went missing and nobody reported him missing. Elvira sits alone at dinner and no one seems to care. Hedviga Golik is dead. Three different posts on this blog about the inhumanity of humanity. Does anybody care any longer? Has society become so desensitized that the disappearance of a child - the fact that an elderly woman sits alone for dinner every night, the fact that a woman (Hedviga) was dead for 23 years before anyone figured it out - doesn't cause any concern at all? If the answer to that questions is a resounding "yes", then . . . well, I don't know what. I just know that no matter what Adam was like - horrible child, didn't listen to his adoptive parents, didn't make his bed - he deserved to be reported missing. If he is dead, didn't he deserve a chance to live a little bit longer than 10 years? Maybe, on the chance that he is dead, if his adoptive parents reported him missing, he might have had a longer chance at life. I'm just saying . . .
