When people choose to talk about the perpetrator in this case, they are not saying they don't care about the victim. Intelligent people can have a discussion about the severity and appropriateness of punishment for someone who has committed a crime.
When I read the information that is out there, it is not entirely clear what this kid has done in the intervening period to atone for his actions. And I don't know what would be enough to make me think he has changed either. It's clear the victim's mother has not forgiven him.
