A psychotherapist who specializes in the kind of damage allegedly done to Sandra Birchmore examines what the legal case alone cannot show — how completely Sandra’s mind was reshaped by officers she trusted. Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, looks at the unsent text to Farwell’s wife, the friend who saw what Sandra couldn’t, and the DNA revelation that Farwell was not the biological father. Sandra entered the Stoughton police Explorers program as a grieving child with no father figure. The officers who ran that program allegedly became substitutes for every form of protection and love Sandra had lost. Scott explains how a badge functions differently than any other form of authority in a child’s psychology and why Sandra’s inability to see what was being done to her was not a failure of intelligence — it was the product of years of alleged targeting by men she was taught to trust.
