    Um… Holding the people who raped children accountable for raping children is caring about the children who were raped.

    And going after the most powerful people involved sends a very strong message to everyone else that no one is above consequences, which is caring about preventing future child rapes.

      You’re not wrong, but I do understand where they’re coming from. The actual victims always seem like an after thought, if they’re mentioned at all. It’s almost like they’re an abstract concept at this point.

        But what more is there to say about them? We don’t want to identify them, and we already know they were the victims of a horrible crime. They are an abstract concept in part to protect their identities.

          It’s not about saying anything. It’s just clear that most of the people up in arms about the files could not care less about the victims.
