Chapter 19 - Child Protection
Child services substantiated inappropriate confinement and emotional maltreatment.
They did not remove Pippa from me.
There was no evidence I knew.
But they evaluated the home.
Interviewed staff.
Reviewed travel schedules.
Asked why no one noticed.
Good question.
Housekeeper Maria Santos knew the crate existed.
She thought it was used for Archie.
She worked mornings.
The confinement occurred evenings.
Our nanny had left six months earlier after a disagreement with Camilla.
I never asked enough questions about why.
She later said:
“Camilla wanted to handle discipline privately.”
Another missed warning.
Not proof I should have predicted a cage.

A lesson about isolation.
When one adult keeps pushing other caregivers away, ask why.
