Thoughts for tormented neighbours

What can we say of events in Amstetten, other than to note that 'in a community where most neighbours knew each other,' sure, such things are possible.

And where tormented neighbours must be questioning themselves - did we do enough, should I have thought of this, should you have asked about that? - yes, the line between privacy and collective concern or responsibility is often hard to discern. It is not wrong that a person who wants to keep himself to himself, can do so.

Neighbourliness is a partial solution to many things, but it is probably not the whole solution to anything.
