What's wrong with people?

I'm reading things every day about children who are getting killed by their parents or foster parents because of things their parents have done. es. What is wrong with people? Why aren't people doing anything for these kids? Isn't this why there are things like the police and child protective services? Why aren't the neighbors, schools or whomever else stepping up and doing things that they should be doing? It takes a village to raise a child. Where are these villages? Why aren't they stopping this from happening? It breaks my heart on a daily basis to read these things. Please people open your eyes.
