well the murder case would probably upset me more

abuse victims can get over what happened to them dead people cant

i just think to take somebodies life away from them is in a different league to everything else and there is nothing worse

Quite the opposite. Serious abuse stays with you for life.

Fair enough. I don't think most people would retort in the same way though.

I'm not getting into the rest of your post though. That's would take the thread on a different tangent, and it's not a view I necessarily agree with, but we all have our different opinions, and it's good to discuss them sometimes.

You think it's that easy do you Scott? They just get over it?

what about young children who recall the memories, the pain, the hurt, the fear: and have to live with that every single day for the rest of the lives - many who have been phsyically damaged to the point that they cannot have children anymore: or are unable to have a normal sex life.

If only child abuse was as simple to get over as you appear to think it is.
