You are telling society to "intervene".  You need to use a different verb.   If yu use a word that means something other than what it does, it merely causes confusion.

" Intervene VERB
come between so as to prevent or alter a result or course of events: 
"he acted outside his authority when he intervened in the dispute" · 
 synonyms: intercede · involve oneself · get involved ·

I feel free to be sarcastic when you imply an ability for 'society' to detect abuse before the fact: 

 "... intervening on behalf of the victims before things become abusive", when no such ability exists.

My sarcasm is directed at your personal  lack of logic or understanding, not the disgusting crime committed.
