Nora smiled. "I came today because I've already spoken with the police. I understand your husband is the family's sole breadwinner, but his abuse of your child could land him in prison."
Nina Young's mother was clearly skeptical. "Prison? How is that possible? She's our child—my own child. Do the police get to tell us how we discipline her? I'm the one who gave birth to her."
"Yesterday, you wouldn't even admit to hitting the child, but now you're admitting it yourself." Nora gave a humorless smile. "Just because you gave birth to her, does that make her your property? Even if the police don't intervene, I will. And your husband won't be getting out. Believe it or not."
"You're just a director. Do you think your family runs the police department?"
