Sara Sharif's tragic death must not be forgotten, for her suffering symbolizes a call for urgent reform to protect all children. Allegedly tortured and silenced, her young life was surrounded by adults who saw, heard, yet remained silent. As a society, we cannot afford complacency, nor the notion that “reasonable chastisement” has any place in a world that values the innocence and rights of children. Sara’s memory demands that we reevaluate our laws and safeguard the vulnerable before another life is lost.
