Officer Davis looked from Diane to Mark, who was calmly holding a traumatized six-year-old Lily against his chest. "Ma'am, step back," Officer Davis instructed, adjusting his tactical belt as his partner began reviewing the ballroom's security feed.
Mark stepped forward, showing the officers the red marks left on Lily's wrist where Diane had grabbed her. "My mother assaulted my six-year-old daughter over a buffet plate and physically attacked my wife," Mark stated with unwavering authority.
