“But there has not been a single instance of symptom relief to the victims, not from putting them in jail, not rendering them jobless and unemployable, not from money payouts”
TLIK,
Are you a victim of abuse? If not, don’t speak for them and don’t you dare call them bloodthirsty and greedy. I would imagine that many of them feel some measure of vindication and validation from seeing their abusers sentenced and the institutions that protected these monsters forced to do what they hate most, part with their almighty dollars. Many victims have huge financial burdens due to chronic health and employment issues resulting from their trauma. When they finally see justice after years of being ignored or worse by “the powers that be”, their healing can begin.
Perhaps you should express your righteous indignation against abusers and their enablers instead.
