If due process was followed, and the police / state exonerated the parents, I don’t think anyone would blame Google for reactivating the accounts. They’d blame the police or whatever flawed exoneration process was used.
At least, that’s what I’d hope.
Google here looks even worse than I thought possible, and I’m a de-Googled, anti-fan, so I already had a very dim view of them.
What if the police don't feel it's interesting enough yet (or don't have funds) to investigate and put things on the backburner for lack of resources? Similar to the mountains of unprocessed rape kits.
These are interesting cases but it seems like they happen to be ones where the police bothered do anything.
What's this exonerated?
They didn't do anything. Investigation/State scrutiny shouldn't be considered an act of guilt that requires a vouchsafing.
