Nobody wakes up one day thinking that their child is going to be part of the X case. Not even in the darkest fears that mothers may have does such a tragedy appear to us. Today we cry for the Uma case, one of the many crimes that move us, question, flagellate and outrage us as a society. We think of that little girl who drank her cup of milk and wanted to enjoy a summer day with her father, imagining, while she traveled, what her adventures would be. Today we suffer with those parents, although in a tiny proportion to the real pain that now surrounds them. And with greater intensity we are grateful that it did not happen to us. Like when we celebrate pointlessly with the phrase “it was a lucky misfortune” if someone tells us that their cell phone, car was stolen, or criminals entered their home.
How long must we endure the invisibility of security, the judicial blindness, the connivance argued in social “inequality”? What human rights are we talking regarding when a family is destroyed with total impunity from the revolving door of prisons? What future do we have if we cannot guarantee that the murderers are where they should be and our children, playing, studying and believing in a better country?
Tolstoy said: “If you feel pain, you are alive. If you feel the pain of another, you are human.” Let us activate our country to be human with the pain of this and all the Argentine families that we no longer want to see suffer from negligence, ineffectiveness and indifference.
