It really feels like there are better options than just assume she doesn't know. Even of you think people shouldn't be told if they didn't know, which is complicated at best, you don't think maybe a interview with a social worker would be smart? Instead of just assuming? Kinda seems like the bare minimum to me.

A horrific possibility I'd never really considered, but if nothing else, that assumption that turned out to be wrong seems entirely unnecessary...

Grotesque all around :(
