If he had attacked YOUR child or loved one you consider to be most precious in your life, how would YOU reach out to help the attacker? Should we rush to the aid of your loved one, or would you prefer we focus our attention on healing the pedophile, the institution, and their respective reputations? Whose life, welfare, and reputation would be more important to you?
