But the thing is, that with the car example if the person itself is already so wounded that they might not heal completely again dont you think it would be too much to scold them for that? If they have any responsibility they will already feel horrible because of them being wounded and for the accident itself, going around and blaming them might even send them over the edge. How would it be if they then decide that they are not worth living anymore and kill themselves? (I know a harsh topic) And with abuse, what if the person that got abused was already mentally unstable? Wouldnt that make it worse too? Maybe even make them feel like everyone is better off without them?
There are situations were its fine to point out the mistakes but I believe there are also situations were something like that can make matters worse. Sometimes its just better to support the person instead of butting blames on them. Maybe later, when all is done, when they are over it and on the way to get better, maybe then its time for a talk. But after it happens? No I dont think that would be good.
How can this example be used when someone was sexual harassed? Your example sounds more like a young child that went too far away from their parents, not someone that was abused or sexual attacked. Also what would you say to someone that went through that on the internet? For something that went on for months?
