Followup--I just said as much to my wife, and she laid some wisdom on me.
"So let's say the 29-year-old woman turns around and kidnaps a child. Does the same thing to him that was done to her. Do we kill her?"
"That's a different situation," I replied. "This guy inflicted a lot of suffering on this girl for a long time."
She smiled. "How do you know what happened to him when he was a kid?"
I had no reply.
