Money cannot give you back the opportunity to raise your children.

  > Money cannot give you back the opportunity to raise your children It can give them a better life. Also, this article cited a star second grader beaten against her parents’ wishes, and where the doctor felt barred from filing a compliant because it was the state that beat her. The state beating kids simply doesn’t make sense.

    The simple fact of the matter is that money can neither retroactively unimprison a man, nor can it retroactively unbeat him. If you think it can do one, there's no rational reason it can't do the other. But in truth, it can't do either. Pretending that imprisonment is reversible is just a cowardly way of coping with the possibility of harming an innocent man.

      > imprisonment is reversible Straw man. Nobody said this. It’s easier to reverse unserved time. And it’s easier to calculate money damages for mis-spent time.

        You can calculate a dollar figure for wages missed, but not time lost nor beatings sustained. Better to remove the first harm from the equation altogether.
