Thing is, you can't trigger proof everything, and this is a debate which has been ongoing on this site for years. You do need to be able to cope with seeing scars, SI related or otherwise, in public because well, they're there. While I agree that obvious flouting of scars/drawing attention to them/fresh cuts isn't right, one has a right to feel comfortable displaying scars and shouldn't have to hide them, because that's downright discriminatory tbh. From personal experience, when someone is in absolute crisis in a psych ward, they can often find it hard to see what's going on aound them because their distress is too high.
And if they're 3 years old, they probably aren't as noticeable as you believe them to be; give it time and they'll fade even further :)
