Welcome to the Buffy-verse :D Buffy was the first Joss show I watched, back when I was thirteen, then came Angel when I watched Buffy season 4 and Firefly came about two years ago... lol

I don't know if you've read it (or seen the movie), but Stephen King's It deals with a similar concept. In the story, an ancient, evil being (who calls himself Pennywise The Clown) begins killing children in a small town. However, the adults in the town can't see the monster for what it really is, blaming the deaths on random violence. The main characters call it "The Derry Disease" (Derry being the name of the town they live in). It even affects them once they return to their hometown as adults.
Adults in Sunnydale seem to suffer from a similar affliction. They are either incapable of seeing the problem, or refuse to (I'm betting on the latter). As time goes on though, you'll see that events in Sunnydale get harder and harder to ignore...
