I have kids and wouldn't harm them even if there was no jail sentence and I would gain money from it. What is your point?

"She was torturing them because she needed to vent." Sounds an awful lot like justifying her actions.

It is a justification. Still abhorrent and unforgiven, but it is still better than just seeing this as a singular incident with no corralation to any other such occurrence. Highlighting this as a systemic problem would really help all involved.

Shunning those who point these errors out will not help however.

Pretending the incident was random and unpredictable is your preferred way of preventing incidents like this from happening again?

Figure out what how and why the problem came to exist, that's kinda a big part of solving it.
