83. Did you even read my entire post??????
Did you see where I have intervened three times? Did you see where I said I understood your feelings?

How I would feel has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. Law is NOT based on our feelings at a particular moment.

If someone stole some cash from me, and I called the law - I WOULD HAVE TO PROVE THE CASH WAS STOLEN. If I can't prove it was stolen from me, then the thief does indeed get to keep it. Can you understand that?

Child abuse has to be PROVEN. You may make the allegation all you want to, BUT THE LAW OPERATES ON PROOF.

Innocent until proven guilty. Have you ever heard of that? Or do you want the police to operate on the idea that anybody you say did something is automatically guilty?

An emotional reaction, which is what you are having, is NOT a substitute for reason and logic.
