Great...Hows has caused Rachel abandonment issues. A four year old in front of a tribunal? This seems more like child abuse than anything else.

ETA: Does she have a babysitter or home attendant with her? Is she sitting alone? Who brought her to the courtroom?* And how has she not gotten sick for 21 months?

*Calling it a courtroom because I'm not sure where this is taking place.

Let's say it was done in a "protected room" of the “court” (or wherever this is taking place), child-proved, questioned by someone with the necessary qualification. It's not about the technicality, it was more about what would Rachel have to say if anyone cared to know.

Thanks, but I'd prefer the author to respond, if she cares to.

I think you've all made an excellent point, one that did occur to me while I was writing my original draft, but somehow slipped through the cracks in my brain before I posted the chapter. Instead of posting a new chapter today, I'm going to go back and rework the Rachel chapter to reflect your concerns. Thanks for pointing it out.

Glad you and others caught it...
