Chapter 7 - Julian Defends His Spoiled Actions With Arrogant Whining
Officer Miller and Officer Davis reviewed the smart home security footage directly from the living room wall monitor downstairs.
The video played back the exact sequence: Julian violently snatching the cookie, Lily bursting into tears, and Clara dropping her tray.
The footage also clearly showed Julian mocking the crying infant while refusing to return the food item he had stolen.
“Well, the video confirms the boy provoked the incident by physically taking food from a toddler,” Officer Miller stated objectively.
“He is a child! Boys will be boys! She had no legal right to strike him across the face!” Eleanor shrieked defensively.
“Striking a minor is still a technical battery under state law, Mrs. Sterling, regardless of the provocation,” Officer Davis noted.
“However, given the circumstances and the lack of serious injury, we are issuing a verbal warning and a domestic disturbance report.”
Eleanor’s face turned an ugly shade of mottled red as she realized the police were not going to haul Clara off in handcuffs.

“This is an outrage! I pay your department's funding through my municipal taxes! I want her locked up today!” Eleanor screamed.
“We enforce the law, Mrs. Sterling, not your personal grudges. Have a good evening,” Officer Miller replied, walking toward the door.
