A cute story
I gave a friend a gift of a Baker 5/A scarf. In her thank-you she shared this cute story:
"When I was a kid my mom asked my dad for a Baker sheet for Christmas. She got a baking sheet and was very disappointed! "

There's no point in continuing to compare SS's procedures to court procedures. Open court can be absolutely devastating for the victims, but without their testimony, there's no case. Fortunately, SS can look at the evidence and make a decision without compelling the victims to out themselves.
