It does no good to a child to have his faults shielded by his mother.

Once there was a mother who adored and spoiled her son. When he was little, he would sometimes fight or steal, but she would defend him, saying, "He's still young and doesn't understand anything."

If Fred didn't leave till five o'clock, he can't be home yet.

Instead of acting in the interest of justice, they provide the cover for each other to promote the self-interest of the ruling elite.

Only by doing so can it clear itself of shielding misconduct and rebuild its image of being impartial and credible.
