I’m going to have to repeat this again and again

In ‘Jail for kidnapper outsmarted by schoolgirl ‘, Judge Murray Abbott said:
“In a social context there must be some concern that a young girl, aged 12, would be out and about on the street alone at night,”
Not relevent. Does not make what happened alright. Is not why it happened.
My concern is not that a twelve year old is out late alone, but that if a twelve year old is out at night alone, she is not safe and does not feel safe.
