Advocating for victims
Different circumstances, yes. But maybe not all that much. Innocent victim attacked in each case. A long-ish article maybe, but worth reading I think because the average person will hear 2000 times more about the alleged perpetrator than they will about this victim.

You know Prof - respect for your taking the family away holiday post - i hate generalizations and dogma-but from my own experience - a strong family unit spending time together away from the everyday, without the instant gratification / moronic culture and souless diversions, can only be good!
SNP - what you say sounds fair - but do you really beleive the system is geared primarily towards the Victim? From what you say, it has a relevance to my mind via Punitive response - but i am not sure that is the same thing?
Actually, i am somewhat wary of going towards a victim system, in this PC, litigation climate - not that i don't see benefit in it and some worthwhile changes, but more that i fear where the current zeitgeist steamroller will flatten our hard-fought for and taken-far-too-easily-for-granted- rights.
I wish opposing Political thoughts, would bury their other differences and fight to maintain freedoms - at least where they can - because they are being eroded and we are entering sci-fi novel country without even a lame ass fight.
Divide and conquer.
Let those of any persuasion that cherise Liberty and freedom, at least agree to make a stand for personal liberty and fly whatever flag they want as true men and women against a future of dumbed-down, controllable and pliant future generations.

as fer the 10 year old - he is ten.

Ideally the system will do both. I'll stop short of saying that it always does though.
