“I have no idea where they went. Is this something to joke about? They claimed they visited the library, but in reality, they had snuck outside to play. What happens if they sneak over to the reservoir?”

Many children were reported to have drowned while swimming in the reservoir during the summer. break. Bettany was not upset when the kids went outside to play. She was irate because they did not inform the adults, and it could be dangerous.
