But it was too late.
━━━━━━━━━━━━
Hours later, social services and detectives discovered the truth.
The man was not his uncle.
He was Sofia’s mother’s violent boyfriend.
After the woman’s death, he had forced the girl to beg and steal food for him.
He beat her.
He locked her up.
He threatened her.
And nobody had ever asked too many questions.
Because poor children become invisible very quickly.
When they finally took the man away in handcuffs, Sofia was still clinging to Elena’s uniform.
Trembling.
Unable to believe it was over.
Elena knelt in front of her.
—He can’t hurt you anymore.
Sofia slowly raised her gaze.
-Really?
Elena nodded.
And then something happened that completely broke the hearts of everyone present.
Sofia asked in a small voice:
—So… I won’t have to steal bread anymore?
Elena began to cry.
Because no child should ask something like that.
