Lucas slowly pulled a cracked cellphone from his backpack. \u201cI recorded part of it,\u201d he said. The room went silent. Investigator Morales took the phone and played the audio. Sofia’s voice filled the office. \u201cIf you keep running to your grandmother, I’ll make sure your father sends you away.\u201d A few seconds later, a loud crash and Lucas’s cry could be heard. Sofia’s face turned pale.<\/p>\n
Daniel stared at the recording as if the ground had disappeared beneath him. For months he had accepted every complaint Sofia made about his son without question.
