Dreamer Easy

I never considered the spay to be much worse than many other things shown in Torchwood to be honest. I only learnt on the net later that a lot of people appearantly had an issue with it. So I ask: is this so much worse than letting the only child go with some monsters who just killed the girl's father? There where more morally questionably issues in last night's episode which I won't recap here to prevent spoilers.
