I have to sigh that moral and ethical issues are far more complicated than logical reasoning. There is no right or wrong, and there is a reason behind every opinion. Of course, a society as a whole must formulate some relatively correct moral standards. When the hero discovers that the missing little girl was secretly adopted by the old sheriff, his heart must be full of painful contradictions and struggles. Is it to call the police and let the little girl go back to her slut mother (can't think of a more suitable word, scum?), or accept it silently and let her be raised by an old sheriff who is more reliable in terms of economy and personality? Unlike his girlfriend who firmly supported the latter choice, he finally called the police.
As a viewer, I also thought about it. The tricky and subtle thing about this moral decision is that the client himself, as a young child, has no power or ability to choose. So in this case, the society has to make the choice on her behalf. Under the existing law, it is clear that she should be raised by her mother, even though we know that her future life may be bleak as a result. The film does a great job of exaggerating the possible consequences of this choice, so at first my choice was leaning towards the old sheriff. But on second thought, would we still make the same choice if we didn't know the situation on both sides so well, if we didn't know who was the good guy and who was the bad guy? I think the answer should be no.
