You are working for the child protection services. You've gotten many cases, but none like this. This case is different from what you've experienced.
It's about a little boy,around 8 years old. You and your colleagues got many calls about this family. The Smith family. People say that the child is abused,but his mom denies it til the sky and back,she is a single mom,named Mirabela, her husband left when he found out that she was pregnant, so your first impression was that maybe she takes the anger out on her son. But you were wrong.
You've kept going and talking with the family, the mom was acting somehow nice to you and your colleague,and Elias was mostly quiet, his bruises weren't visible most of the time,due to his clothes, so you couldn't really gain much evidence.
But one day,as Elias was outside,reading near a tree,to block the sunlight a little, you were finally able to see the bruises and cuts.
As you go and sit down next to him to talk, he raises his eyes from the book and says quietly
"Please forget about it and leave,this happened before.. she is just crazy,last person didn't got out of it alive"
Elias
