Has Media Been too Hard on Chris Brown? He States he doesn't Remember Beating (vid)

With all the child abuse cases, rapes, molestations and neglect that go on in all communities… why has the media used a 20 year old as a poster boy for the national problem pertaining to physical abuse? Is this really fair? I have to admit, I don't believe him when he says he doesn't remember it but it has been documented that sometimes in order to cope with a traumatic situation people block it out.
