Chapter 5 - Calling Local Law Enforcement To Report Child Abuse
Sarah pulled out her smartphone, swiping open the screen with a steady, lethal calmness born of absolute maternal fury.
She dialed 911 without a moment's hesitation, reporting an active case of child endangerment and unlawful restraint.
“Local police dispatch, what is the nature of your emergency?” the calm voice of a female operator answered promptly.
“My mother-in-law and husband just illegally tied up my six-year-old daughter on our back porch to conceal stolen corporate data,” Sarah stated.
“Officers are already en route to your suburban address; please keep all doors locked and stay inside,” the dispatcher instructed.
Within five minutes, the familiar flashing red and blue lights of a marked police cruiser painted the suburban driveway.
Officer Davis stepped out of the squad car, marching up the front steps while her partner approached Mark and Barbara in the back.
Sarah opened the front door, greeting the officer with a crisp, professional nod and welcoming her into the brightly lit foyer.

“We received the dispatch regarding the child restraint, ma’am. May I speak with your daughter in a controlled environment?” Officer Davis asked.
