Res ipsa? But we have a legal system in a crisis.
The issue for me here is "torture denial."
Whether it is torture denial that is rationalized as "I can't work it out with my 'mentally ill' kid" or as "We can't struggle against the 'clinical gaze' because it is too hard" that frames the "facts."

When Rozelle Trizuto met with her 26-year-old daughter, Angela, she took off her glasses and had her cell phone. Angela had punched her in the face so often that replacing broken glasses was a chore.
The cell phone she used to call for help.
Trizuto is one of the thousands of parents nationwide who unconditionally love their children but are terrified of them at the same time.
