Dear Hilary, It's one AM otherwise I'd be talking to you by phone. Getting your child is priority one, though I know it is important to support the PD cause. These social workers are just pursuing their jobs as they see it and cannot understand the moral significance of any political activity. Indeed, you have to actively demonstrate to the authorities in Fairfax County that one first priority is winning the courts to your favor, and just hope that other more unemcumbered members of the PD community can make for you. Of course, should you be a speaking witness, it would be different. Mask you anger and anguish and show up at the appointment. Fondly, Michel
