Blaming The Victim

I don't think its blaming the vicitm if a reader asks the question, "What was she doing out on the West Side Highway at that hour?" I don't think its blaming the vicitm if a reader asks, "Where were her friends?" I don't think its blaming the vicitm if a reader asks, "Why didn't she go with her friend in the ambulance?" Since when is asking questions immediately assumed to blame the victim? I've have done some stupid things myself as a youngster and I would bet a dollar that my family would ask some of those questions. Maybe asking some of those questions will go a long way in saving lives as opposed to looking back and wondering how this could have happened in the first place.
