Willravel doesn't think that the victims seem to count because they don't need to be around their family members, justice is the the only way to be and live right. whatever that seems to be.
And I've already given my reasons, which apparently aren't enough either.

So showing any of the abuses at all is discounting the victims entirely? Do you honestly believe anyone would give a crap about any of this if the original photos had ever come out? This would have story buried deep in the paper and would have gotten a brief nod in the media overall if the photos didn't show what really happened. Do you know that the photos don't show worse behavior? Do you think it's worth pretending that we've done enough so we can pat ourselves on the back now? How does that help the victims? Inaction is not action.

You say you don't want to keep them hidden, you just don't want the public to able to see them. Can you please explain the difference?

So, if someone is assaulted, or hit by a drunk driver, the best way for the victims to heal is for the evidence to be locked away?
