The essence of justice is mercy. Making a child suffer for wrong-doing is merciful to the child. There is no mercy in letting the child have its own will, plunging headlong to destruction with the bits in its mouth.

We may deliver his body from the prison, but not at the expense of justice nor to his own injury.
