The rustle of papers fills the quiet room, mixed with the soft whispers of serious talks. Imagine a world where laws help keep children safe and happy, but sometimes the real-life stories behind those laws are much more complicated. How do grown-ups work together to protect kids, and what happens when things don’t go as planned?
