obviously what happened to this poor girl was traumatic, but I feel weird in the comment sections here, like treating her as fully blameless. Being a victim of really shitty treatment doesn't auto make you blameless, and people often try to use "I was a victim of shitty treatment" to excuse terrible behavior to others (like, likely this girl's parents said things like they were a victim of *her* shitty treatment), so it make sense that we as a culture are wary of victimhood as an excuse.
