How to use "Innocent" in context?
Innocent bystanders are often forgotten when tragedies unfold, but their lives and well-being are just as important as anyone else. A tragedy is never solved by simply identifying the guilty party, but by examining all of the people affected by the event. Innocent bystanders have the same rights as anyone else and deserve to be treated with respect.
Some tragedies, such as the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, tragically involve children as innocent bystanders. In these cases, the children are the victims of the violence, and their innocence is heartbreaking. It is important to remember that children are not responsible for the actions of adults.
