Azizi - well said

I've been listening to talk back on ABC radio (our national broadcaster & not a shock-jock in sight) & heard a few things that might answer some of your questions.

A nurse who formerly worked in township & remote communities in the Northern Territory said that teachers & police officers are usually very young, on their first postings & while they do their best, cannot do everything.
