The point is that when children are horrifically abused or tortured they often (although obviously not always) develop severe difficulties in all kinds of relational areas. My point is we all felt terrible for the torture that Baby P went through but if he had survived and not received intensive therapy but had grown up without ever having received anything but pathologically cruel treatment and then had gone on to relate to others in the same way, perhaps even killed a child all sympathy or worse all thinking would be gone and we would just have utterly unhelpful threads like this rejoicing in his torture.
It's much much harder to see a complex picture- far easier to see black and white but it makes me feel terribly depressed.What good does torturing this man do? Does it bring those poor girls back?
