I actually have an email that Alan sent him.

Do you want me to show it to you?

Of course I do.

So yes, here is the email.

Dear Sergeant Young, would you like to read it?

Remember those stories that I told you he's so excellent at weaving?

This is another, this is a classical example of that story.

If you're an outsider reading this, it sounds plausible, right?

It sounds actually very logical.

If you have no idea of the facts, you'd say, okay, wow, this woman must be awful.

This man is trying to save his child.

And it all seems to make so much sense without the facts.

And so he was in foster care for two nights and I spoke to him on the phone.

But, you know, he was just being like, you know, just acting like a happy, normal kid.

But he wasn't eating.

That's what the woman who was taking care of him told me.

She's like, he's acting like he's OK, but he's not eating.

As soon as we closed the door, he just started talking.

It's like he erupted.

And he just started talking and crying and explaining to me what had happened.
