The sacrifice isn’t the answer

Everyone seems to concentrate on the children that were sacrificed. I think that’s the wrong focus; not because it was wrong or because it shouldn’t be set to rights, it should. What I think everyone keeps forgetting to ask is, what went on in that place that drove people to sacrifice their own children to begin with? Everyone keeps consenting on that - but what are they going to do to deal with whatever is so dangerous and frightening that it would drive people to sacrifice their own children in the first place?
