What have we become? please give me your opinions?

i recently posted a question asking for help to identify the body of a murdered boy. one person who answered shocked me by saying "who cares, this isnt amber alert, all we care about is our damn points not finding damn children". has our society really become so calloused that we no longer care that our children are being murdered? that points on a question and answer forum become more important than helping resolve such real life, vital issues become negligent and bothersome? even irritating. is this a trend that is growing or are people like this the exception to the rule? what is your opinion on this?
