The officer was about to take them away when Claire suddenly rushed over.

"No, he's never hit me! Officer, you've got it all wrong!"

Elysia couldn't stand it any longer!

She handed Emmett to Blossom, asking her to take Emmett and Evan back inside.

Once the kids were gone, Elysia confronted Claire in front of the officers,
