The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a man sitting at a restaurant table. He is sweating. He says "Y-you have beautiful eyes".
The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous."
In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table.
In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

There's also a level of classism to the question. "Why didn't they just leave?" As though it's easy to just walk out on your home/belongings & start over. Like victims all have an escape fund & a cozy little pied a terre they can sojourn to.

Wtaf. This is effectively legalising neglect. I've worked with people who had profound cognitive impairments and they may not be able to say (e.g) "take me to the park", but you can see from their reactions/expressions once there how much they enjoy it. They know the diff btwn free & shut in.
