Call Me a Dreamer

I desire all people to act ethically, but experience does not allow me to expect that all will, or that those who do will act with restraint or constrain themselves to minor infractions. That said, the scale of this particular set of bribes, the fact that it was children who were targeted, and the number of children who were affected by it, makes this situation particularly egregious, in large part because there were a large number of people who were part of the justice system who had to have seen the signs of corruption, but who were either unable to identify the problem, or unwilling to act upon their knowledge.
