"You were arrested because you are suspected of murdering someone, ma'am."

"My parents are horrible and they'll hurt her you're monsters -"

"Why don't I recommend you someone who can help you draft an email to your husband letting him know that you'd like him to come back, and to the Rivikni courts about child abuse concerns if there are child abuse concerns."

"My what? I'm not married."

"Sorry. The father of the child."

Sniff.

"Does Rivik have a process for reporting suspected child abuse?"

"Yeah."

"Then it sounds like we should get started right away on contacting her father and reporting suspected child abuse. If he doesn't have the financial resources to care for her alone, there's a fund for that, the social worker can help you apply for that as well."

"They make you tell them everything - I -"

"..."

Sniff.

"If you're concerned about whether they'll believe a report, we can get our forensics team to do confirmation of anything you'd like confirmed and send them the evidence for that as well."

"Is there anybody I could discuss this with who is not a monster."

"I can tell a social worker to set up a meeting right away."

"Are you sure they are not monster social workers."

"I've known them to work very hard on behalf of all our inmates."

"But are they going to care more about the plumber than my child."

"I can make a note that that would be a problem."

She looks away.

She can have a social worker who would like to help her make sure her daughter's safe, should they get started on an email to her father first?

"I already sent him one but he doesn't know how they are."

"He hasn't been told, or he doesn't believe it?"

"We're barely friends - I don't talk to people about it - I don't want to talk to people about it but if you're just leaving her there -"

"It makes sense that you'd want to protect your daughter."
