I Came Home From a Night Shift to Find My Daughter Alone on the Cold Kitchen Floor — What I Did Next Protected All Three of My Girls
Financial arrangements can be made to look complicated.
Even the night on the kitchen floor, in isolation, a defense attorney might have tried to paint as an unfortunate lapse.
But a lock installed on the outside of a five-year-old’s bedroom door cannot be explained by anyone, because it has exactly one purpose, and the purpose is written into its very placement.
A lock on the inside of a door keeps danger out; that is a child’s right, and a comfort.
A lock on the outside of a child’s door keeps the child in, against her will, and there is no innocent version of it, no context that redeems it, no story a lawyer can tell that survives the simple physical fact of which side the bolt is on.
