we have also to consider BLP aspects. See #Avoid victimization on "''dealing with individuals whose notability stems largely or entirely from being victims of another's actions.

It could be argued that by her foolishness in giving the document to three friends the author has forfeited her claim to consideration; I am not persuaded even of that, but certainly her subjects come under that policy clause. The original article linked a "redacted" version of the document with blacked out names and blurred faces, but it would not be hard to identify them, and inevitably an IP soon linked an unredacted version which named names and included clear pictures. I have removed that link, but no doubt it will be added again if the article is kept
