“Yes.” I handed her the note. She read it twice, then placed it inside the file. “We’re opening a formal child-safety review,” she said. “Your daughter will not be interviewed today unless you consent and a specialist determines it’s necessary.”

“Owen and Natalie were on the trip.”

“I understand.” She took copies of the screenshots showing the vacation photographs and timestamps. My mother’s public post showed the family had arrived before noon.
