A church has been storing human bones in Ikea bags, because they had dug them up but never gotten around to replanting them:

Replanting them? Like tulips? Can you dig them up and then store them in a garage and then later put them back in and new skeletons sprout up?

Or maybe they grow into corpses. Like corpse seeds.

We could organize a whole group of people to replant the bones and create thickets of cadavers! A Corpse Copse Corps.!

On the Ukranian day of independence, rebels in Donetsk paraded captured soldiers through the streets for a vicious crowd. You know, to show off how well the prisoners are being treated.

Also the Ukranians have captured some legit Russian paratroopers who were inside their borders.
Russia: "Whoops! That was an accident! They weren't supposed to get cau- uh, weren't supposed to be there. Must have wandered over by mistake!"

It can happen anywhere. It's good to assume that this stuff festers everywhere.

I blame the bureaucrats. No one wants 'problems' under their jurisdiction, it makes them look like less effective managers and supervisors, if not out right incompetent at their job. These kinds of systems tend to wind up encouraging people to 'sweep things under the rug'.

In this case, what they were sweeping under the rug turned out to be the equivalent of black mold, carpenter ants, and termites.

Perhaps it's time for The Wayne Foundation to go international.

I really have no words for this.

Except to say I would not blame the bureaucrats alone. I do not blame the victims, but everyone else who was involved, passively or actively, who knew what was going on and did not report it.
