18. disruptive to the family
Your professor makes me angry. He had an obligation to protect that child and any other the abuser might take a hankerin for. Instead the decided to define disruptive through the eye of the abuser. Think of the "disruption" the child endured.

The point of the thread: I do not think the two are mutually exclusive. A person can get time in prison and be forgiven by his victim. I have seen many victims forgive their abusers, but want to ensure that they don't do it to anyone else, and also to pay for what they did through time in prison.

I guess it depends on the definition of forgiveness.
