All this happened in just 3 days...
3 days was enough to show us what is happening in this dark world.
3 days was enough to tell us that there are thousands of children in the hands of human monsters...
3 days was enough to tell us how others days were for these children.
3 days was enough to tell us that we needed 3000 days to find out the truth...

But the question is: Where was the government before these 3 days?
I'm afraid the answer is: the government knew this... Or want this.
