I knew I was nearing the end of my search for Lea. I calmly walked up to her room but immediately heard something unfamiliar occurring from inside.
Opening the door, I was witness to poor Lea fighting with two other workers. One of the two was attempting to unclothe Lea while the other was vigorously holding the child still. As I got closer, I could hear what the two women were yelling about.
“Please hold still!” One told the screaming girl.
“Stop it Lea! Quit… moving…. around!” The second yelled as she pulled onto Lea’s wet pants. The tug of war lasted for about half a minute before Lea elbowed the woman in the face. She instantly fumed while angrily taking a hold of Lea’s arm saying:
“That’s it, you’re in for it now!” while raising her other hand to deliver a punishing spanking.
