Obviously it wasn't as overt as the situations we have been talking about. But as C-dog is so very perceptive, the subtle messages were very damaging as well.

If she made the child leave the school without herself suffering any consequences, I suppose she may be encouraged to try this again. It's a hard world sometimes.
