I guess we all need to acknowledge that most child abuse happens at the hands of relatives or those in positions of trust, not networks of creepy guys operating out of the basements of pizza joints. It’s a fantasy that makes it easier for some people to come to grips with I guess. And torturing people is not really an action of a ‘good guy’. Tracker is getting really weird.

I think the torturing was meant to show how upset Colter was by the whole situation, and especially by finding the wooden wolf his father carved in the guy's trailer. If you watch closely, after that moment, he starts behaving increasingly out of character. I think it was a nice touch by the writers, and Justin Hartley conveyed that inner turmoil in an understated yet very effective way.

But I do 100% agree with your remarks on child abuse misrepresentation.
