No matter how improbable this specific situation might be to occur in the modern age, you can't deny that no matter the era that we live in, be it in a thousand years from now(if we don't die in a nuclear fallout from war or global climate going to shit) or before Rome being built, there had been, and always will be at least someone, somewhere living a life of despair equivalent or worse to this, be it a kind kid, some good hearted man or a innocent woman, and no matter what people did, are doing or might try to do in the future to prevent these kind of shit to happen will never be 100% effective.
So either learn to get a boner to this or constantly fill your mind with other stuff so you can live your life without being in constant guilt for not being able to do shit.
