"It bothers us when we see something has happened to a child like this, and we can’t do anything about it ...," said Howe, who wanted to ensure the public the child is safe. "It’s a whodunit, and many times with child cases a child cannot speak for themselves, so it becomes a difficult situation."

Howe, who said he hasn't been in touch with anyone from the Chiefs organization during the course of the investigation "nor does that have any bearing on it," seemed frustrated on a personal level about the case.

"A child has been hurt … so yes, as a prosecutor, as a father of four kids, yes, it frustrates me when someone hurts a child that you can’t do anything about it," Howe said.

Happy now? It's not a lie because he is handling a criminal investigation and the law doesnt allow him to do anything because he doesnt have enough evidence to bring charges on a certain individual. Use your ****ing brain.
