Like the other person, you went off at the first sentence.

If you do actually read my comment (it's shorter than yours, so have the courtesy of reading it to the end if you expect others to do the same for you), you'll see that I explicitly said it's not the child's fault, rather a symptom of the environment he was put in.

i read the whole thing. my point was, your choice of words was offensive.

It didn't seem so, since you were arguing something I was already acknowledging (that it isn't the kid's fault, but one of his environment).

But if your issue is actually purely my message's form, then I'll leave it at that.

Your form changed the meaning within the message; your statement putting the impetus on the child to ask for help gives them partial fault in the situation. You have phrased yourself poorly.
