Reluctantly, Harry let go of Lili\u2019s hand as the police took him to Child Protective Services. The next morning, Lili called to check on him. \u201cHe was returned to his foster family. There was no evidence of poor treatment,\u201d said the CPS worker. Lili felt the need to take matters into her own hands.<\/p>\n

Lili found Harry\u2019s described house, a run-down building with an overgrown yard. She knocked, and a stern-faced woman named Greta answered. \u201cI was sent by Child Protective Services to take pictures of the children for their records,\u201d Lili explained.<\/p>\n

Greta let her in reluctantly. Lili noted the children\u2019s pale faces and fearful eyes. When Greta called CPS to confirm Lili\u2019s story, she quickly gathered evidence before being forced to leave.<\/p>\n

Determined to save Harry and the other children, Lili returned that night with a ladder. She helped the children escape through the window, but they were stopped by the police. \u201cOfficer, please! We had to get away!\u201d Harry pleaded. The officer, seeing their desperation, agreed to investigate the foster family.

You changed our lives,\u201d Harry said. \u201cNo, Harry. You all changed mine,\u201d Lili replied, her eyes misty with emotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
