At the hospital, doctors confirmed that Leo’s injury was far worse than anyone had admitted—a severely displaced rib fracture caused by violent blunt-force trauma that had nearly punctured his lung. When I explained that my twelve-year-old nephew Ryan had repeatedly kicked him while he was on the ground, and that my own mother had stolen my phone to stop me from calling 911, the doctor immediately reported the situation to police and Child Protective Services. Officers soon arrived at the hospital, took my statement, and then went directly to my parents’ house, where my family had calmly returned to their Thanksgiving dinner as if nothing had happened. The police seized my stolen phone, interrogated everyone, and Ryan eventually admitted he attacked Leo because he wouldn’t hand over the TV remote.
