Earlier decisions should not be treated as made with information obtained later; this neither justifies every act nor supplies a legal conclusion. Family members may have had different options. Children are not compulsory interpreters or comforters. Contact, search and meeting differ. Limited help can matter without promising the whole future. A present question can receive attention without detailed replay, dangerous return or a useful war lesson.",
