S child abuse is okay as long as it’s not made public?
If this was indeed a case of criminal child abuse, then it would have been reported to the District Attorney, not the Wire Service.
This exposure of this private horror is just voyeurism and violation of all of these people's privacy of the most despicable sort.
Just imagine what it is like to be Baldwin's daughter having these horrid words echoing from every speaker and television across the country? Is this a moral good? I think not. I think the humiliation is crushing.
If you cannot understand that folk have an expectation of privacy even when they are messing up incredibly. As I said, if this crossed the line, family courts and the appropriate authorities could handle this without this incredible public violation. These people have been denied the space and time to learn and improve how they act. Instead this is just more gotcha character assassination.
This is a part of our world, but, this will come back to haunt every person in ways that we have no way of understanding today if folks don't recognize that a line has been crossed.
