This is so important in cases of child abuse because the child doesn't know anything else, and they need to hear that it's not their fault and it's not okay. If children from abusive households grow up thinking that's just how things work, they are more likely to later become abusers.
I try to do this if I'm confident on days where I see a stranger and I really like their shirt or something else, I'll try and tell them. You never know, it might've made their day.
