But the constable is absolutely insisting that we do not drop this intervention order.

And the more I'm trying to get him to do things my way, the more insistent he is to the point that he says, if Celeste drops this intervention order, we won't be able to protect her.

He literally made me...

freeze with those words because it made me feel like I would be the one putting my daughter in danger.

So of course, at that point, I was quick to reply, we won't drop anything.

But it also put Celeste and I, who was right next to me, she could hear the conversation, I had him on speaker.

It also put both of us under the impression that they must be monitoring him.

I was absolutely convinced with those words that they must be monitoring his movements.

So, you know, to say to someone whether he had said it, and I'm sure he had said it to Celeste herself, and now to me, if Celeste drops the intervention order, we won't be able to protect her.

That means you have something in place that's clearly saying,

going to protect her.

Well, they didn't, did they?

There was nothing in place.

They weren't monitoring anything.

So again, this goes to earlier in the conversation where we're talking about the VLRC, the recommendations and the non-recommendation being the electronic monitoring.

monitoring would absolutely have prevented what happened that night.

And there's no one that's going to take that out of my head.

Absolutely, because if you're going to tell me, her mother, when I'm pointing out that I am seen, retaliation if we don't.

At the end of the day, the person that was at risk was only Celeste, right?

It's not the person you're dealing with.
