As for grace, I don't see the issue. In all societies there obviously is a standard of right and wrong behaviour. So in that sense, is it wrong for us to condemn murderers, pedophiles or rapists? These obviously are persons who committed actions that are deemed unethical in our society. I'd think parental abuse of children is also seen as immoral too. On this basis, a labelling of a "bad person" (even if we didn't know the woman in question) perhaps is warranted by the children of this person.
