Chapter 17 / 27
Chapter 17 - CECILY’S INTERVIEW Cecily’s trained interview gave us the shape without adult interpretation.
Grandpa sometimes took toys.
Sometimes Daddy saw.
Sometimes Daddy did not.
Grandpa told her:
“Big girls don’t need baby things.”
If she cried after a toy was removed, another one might be taken.
Did Grandpa break them in front of her?
“Sometimes.”
How?
“He makes them not work.”
Examples?
Cut hair.
Bent a toy stroller wheel.
Tore paper books.
Once snapped a plastic wand.
Did he ever hit her before the pool day?
“No slap.”
Did he touch her in ways she did not like?
“Grab.”
Where?
Arm.
Shoulder.
Once wrist.
Did Daddy see?
“One time.”
What did Daddy do?
“He said, ‘Dad, enough.’”
Then what?
“Grandpa let go.”
That mattered.
Weston had intervened physically once.

Not enough to erase concealment.
Enough to keep the story accurate.
