We are to blame.  Yes, we are all to blame, each and every person who is considered an adult.  We are the ones raising our children, we are the ones setting standards in what to believe, how to act and how to see our humanity for what it is.   We are to blame for every person who is bullied, hurt, maimed, or killed.  We are to blame for every act of violence against humans, animals and this planet we call earth. We are to blame for the deafening silence while others are hurting and every word spoken that caused harm.  We need to be accountable for our past, our present and the future of our humanity; and we need to start now.
