Yes, I do agree that there will be some edge cases with moral and legal issues. For everyone else with something on their minds, most of the time you just need to talk it out with another human being. It's the emotional side of their problems that they need help with. They shouldn't really be looking for advice here.
Kind of like AirBnB (for example) needing to have both parties be trustworthy, this will also require an element of trust. In the sense of confidentiality and compassion.
Just because the problems aren't immediately solvable doesn't mean we should avoid it though. We should instead try different things. Maybe on different sites or throughout the evolution of this one. But ultimately test to see what keeps the abusers away and also avoids the social/legal/moral issues.
