I’m not pushing any sort of moral relativism. I’m just stating that the degree of damage that the child suffered.

It was merely keeping thing in perspective, not justifying it.

The degree of damage the child suffered is that her older brother crept into her room repeatedly in the dead of night and violated her, that her parents knew about it, let it happen again, and made her live in the same house as the predator.

The people whose main job in life was to protect her and keep her safe repeatedly betrayed her and then hypocritically drilled into her how important it was for her to maintain purity.

That's psychological warfare.
