- na85 7y agoI'm not a medical expert and neither are you. You're trying to apply broad logic to a situation that is illogical and nuanced.
- adventskalender 7y agoI don't think so. The story here is "horrible things happen to underage girls who hang out on Instagram". So I don't need to be a doctor to evaluate "horrible things". Either horrible things happen, or not. In the real world, what if somebody would be beaten up in a certain part of town, every time they go there, and they keep returning. You wouldn't have to be a doctor to ask "why does he keep returning".
