My 15-year-old daughter was rushed to the ER, and the police wouldn’t even let me see her. They led me to a dark room and whispered, “Look inside quietly.” The moment I peeked in, my entire world cracked open.

I found a hidden camera pointed at my bed. My stepdad said, “I’m keeping you safe.” I went across the street, told the neighbor everything—and that’s when it all unraveled.

My husband blamed me for our baby’s death and abandoned me. Years later, the hospital revealed my son was poisoned… and the security footage exposed the killer. When the screen paused on the murderer’s face, I felt the air leave my lungs.

They called it ‘hide-and-seek’ and abandoned my little girl in a crowded mall. When police dogs finally found her belongings days later, I realized the truth was far darker than a simple disappearance.
