Lioness

At one in the morning, a mother is woken by texts from Jessica, the mother of a boy in her son Leo's kindergarten class. Jessica sends a photo of a faint bite mark on Leo's arm, then a receipt from an emergency dental clinic: her son Dylan chipped a tooth while biting Leo. She demands that Leo's mother take responsibility, threatening to make a scene at the school until Leo is forced to leave.

The next morning, Leo begs not to transfer schools because he and Sophie are to recite a poem in the class play. His mother lets him go and asks his teacher, Ms. Davis, to watch him closely. By afternoon, Ms. Davis has not replied, her phone is off, and Leo's smartwatch is unreachable. At the kindergarten, Ms. Davis claims the children are on a field trip, but a park ranger says no kindergarten trip was scheduled.

Searching the park, the mother hears a muffled cry from an abandoned cabin. Inside, Leo is bound to a pole, and Jessica is forcing his head to the floor before another boy. Other parents and the teachers block her way, calling it a lesson in respect.
