I guess some people just don’t learn that shunning will happen. Stigmas are permanent and don’t remove. They stay forever.

They are in a deep hole of shame. No PR is going to help them. In some cases, repairing a repuatation will do more damage.

Me too.  I'd like some justice for the poor girl and her family, and it looks like they could get it.
