Oh, my heart is breaking for this poor little girl! How awful to witness something so horrifying and not feel able to tell your parents about it.

I love this line:

“Rachel, you have two choices: you can either hold my hand, or you can hold on to the stroller.”
Exactly what I'm always saying to my daughter smile . You've really caught the way kids and parents interact. I also like the way you've captured the thought process going through Rachel's mind - how it really only makes sense to a kid but is still logiical by their reasoning.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this unravels. Hopefully with not too much pain for little Rachel.

Great Job!
