Chapter 22 / 27
Chapter 22 - WALTER’S CONSEQUENCESWalter was not charged with ordering Bryce to hurt Peyton.
Because he had not.
He was not charged with assaulting Peyton on the porch because I stopped him before contact and evidence could not establish exactly what he intended with his raised hand.
But his conduct mattered in child-safety proceedings and family decisions.
His texts and video statements became relevant to whether contact with Peyton was appropriate.
We set a boundary:
No unsupervised contact.
No direct discipline.
No communication with Peyton unless she wanted it and a therapist believed it was healthy.
Walter called that exile.

I called it access based on safety.
Different.
