"The glaring crisis here is that she was sexually harassed by an adult man—one who appears to be totally detached from social norms and decency—and you and your husband did nothing about it."
"I hate what happened to the innocent koi, but that's the least of my concerns. Kenneth's behavior isn't at the top of the list either. I'm most worried about your daughter."

The focus should be on addressing the harassment and supporting the daughter, emphasizing that it is unacceptable behavior and not her fault.
