Why do they need "counseling"? Nobody got hurt or died. This is kind of like when your brother sneaks up behind you, fills a paper bag with air, and pops it really loud.
I saw a nasty car wreck the other day and there was a fatality. Am I a bad person if I wasn't "traumatized" by it?
No, it isn't like that at all.

No, this is more like if I kicked in the back door to your home late one night, grabbed your child, and held a gun to her head.
