Tears Welled
Tears welled up behind the old woman’s eyes as the young mother persisted in screaming accusations. “You’re sick for trying to take a little child! I will call the police! Who do you think you are?”
Unable to match the volume of the woman’s accusations, Betty’s frail voice attempted to speak over the chaos. The tears began to stream down her face.
Overwhelmed and unsure of how to handle the situation, she faced the woman’s relentless tirade. “You think you can just come and take him, right outside of his home?” the woman continued, escalating the confrontation.
