Neighbor stays vigilant
The neighbor becomes more watchful, making notes and obtaining proof on her own, in spite of the stepmother’s efforts. In an attempt to gather enough knowledge to assist the boy, she begins to maintain a thorough notebook of everything she sees. She surreptitiously records every odd event and every time she notices the youngster seeming distant and depressed. Her resolve to step in is strengthened by this mounting body of evidence.
Neighbor Stays Vigilant
Charming deceit
The stepmother’s seductive and dishonest demeanor in public makes it difficult for people to accept the boy’s predicament. She always seems like the ideal wife and stepmother, is outgoing with neighbors, and participates in neighborhood activities. People respect her and quickly brush off any unfavorable reports. The youngster finds it more challenging to persuade others of his pain because of this public persona.
