Chapter 11 - THE EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDER
Working alongside our family attorney, we secured an emergency protective order that barred my mother from coming within five hundred feet of Clara, our son, or me.

The court commissioner reviewing the digital evidence noted it was one of the most chilling displays of calculated domestic manipulation he had ever encountered.
