It has been said that you are more likely to be killed by an acquaintance than by a stranger, and that when that happens, you may be home. 2017 confirmed that theory repeatedly. These are three of the cases that most shook the United States.

In October, the Texas police discovered the body of Sherin Mathews, a three-year-old girl who had been reported missing by her parents, after being "punished" by sending her to the patio of the house at 3 am, as punishment for not drinking milk. The girl was found in a sewer near her home two weeks later.

When performing the autopsy, it was indicated that the girl had been a victim of physical abuse. Now her adoptive father, Wesley Mathews, is currently incarcerated on suspicion of her murder, while Sini Mathews, her adoptive mother, has been charged with child abandonment after police alleged that she had left the 3-year-old girl alone. of his death.

Last month, Tennessee police detained a U. S. Army military doctor on charges of raping and murdering one of his barely 9-month-old twins. According to local media, when paramedics arrived at the home of Christopher Conway, 22, and tried to revive the poor creature, it was too late. Her father later confessed that he not only raped her but also strangled her with a cord.

And in San Antonio, Texas, a mother discovered the video of her own daughter's rape in horror when she checked the Ipad of one of her friends. It happened in October, when the police detained José Trinidad González, accusing him of aggravated sexual assault against a minor and possession of child pornography, after the poor woman reported the horrendous video.

When reporting it to the authorities, the woman indicated that her children always asked González for the Ipad to play and so, intrigued, she decided to investigate that device to see what game her children were watching. Going to the folders of deleted material, she discovered the disturbing video where her "friend" raped her daughter.

Although 2017 has been a year of great scientific progress, as the first semi-synthetic laboratory organism was created, family violence, especially against the most defenseless, children, continued to be a plague that could not be exterminated. Hopefully in 2018 if progress is made!
