<font color="purple">Nothing can "kill" your soul because your soul is immortal. I think what the person was trying to do was illustrate how the abuse shatters the lives of the children involved, and was most likely a poor choice of words

You did not choose to be kidnapped, you did not choose to be hurt like that, therefore, can you really say that you had any responsibility about it? In the case of child abuse such as this- it falls solely on the abuser, never the child.

But you're right about how the children (or adults who were once abused children) shouldn't be the center of a case like that and have to re-live everything.</font>
