I asked, "What did the doctor say, Micah?"He wailed and shouted, "Please come home, Mom. Ms. Linberg hit me and told me that she hated me. Grandma cried too, and Dad won't say anything.

You did this to me, Nora Edwards!"I looked at her calmly. "Winnie, you can't hurt me anymore because I'm no longer part of the game you're playing."The police arrived very quickly, and Winnie was taken away for fraud, infringement, and malicious dissemination of commercial info
