Mind you, a lady has just been on the radio who reported a teacher who had abused her daughter, and after lots of court appearances and social worker visits, the teacher walked free with just a £1,000 fine and the freedom to carry on teaching. She was of the view, in retrospect, may have accepted a payment ... at least may have helped her daughter in the future.
Nothing would have persuaded myself though to be bought off if someone had abused my lad in this way !

I heard her too, and her argument held no sway with me.
I think the vast majority of parents would primarily be seeking justice, not cash.
Which in this case didn't happen because the stupid judge took the payment into account, as part punishment for the crimes.
