Well, to me the victim should have the choice of whether they want to face the offender that made them a victim, because some want to face them.
I think the offender should have to look a mother in the eye. I don't understand why there is the big protection. No two victims are alike. They should have the choice to speak to them, to look in their eyes and read their statement to them, not to the back of their ears.
I believe it would greatly help victims in the healing process too if they were made to feel like their input actually was going to the offenders, not to the back of their heads.
