What would you say... if a parent looked in their rearview mirror, didn't see anything... but as they back their car up, they accidentally ran over their child. Would this parent thus be an abuser in your book? If the child lived, then should the child be taken away from the parent? Things like this have happened multitudes of times. Once as a child, I had wanted to accompany my mother to town - as she was shutting the car door, my hand had gotten in the way and the car door slammed on my hand. Was my mother an abuser because of this? I think unintentional accidents shouldn't be considered abuse. Sorry to hear about how your dad did you, Sethnsemee. What he did was wrong. But he intentionally did what he did to you. It was no accident. I agree, if somebody intentionally harms another individual... it is abuse. Even if done once. But, I think you need to put more thought into accidents. From what I've read about Sam, he was not an abuser. He was loosing control of his human form... thus turning into a huge wolf. There really wasn't much he could have done. Maybe Sam should have ran away as fast as he could have. Then there would be no way he would have harmed Emily. But Sam did tell Emily not to come near him.... and he had moved away from her. Instead, Emily rushed to him, unfortunately just as Sam shifted, scarring Emily for life. Some times terrible things happen.
