After Mattie takes Taylor, Ezperanza, and Estevan to see the first rain in the desert, Taylor comes home to see Lou Ann looking petrified. Lou Ann explains to Taylor that Edna Poppy was watching Turtle and took her to the park, and says how Turtle was attacked by a man. Edna is blind so she couldnt tell what was going on but she hear struggling noised so she swung her cane in the direction of the noise. Turtle at this point in time looked lost. Soon after a policeman and a social worker come to Lou Ann and Taylor's house. A bird had flown into Ms. Parson's house so she left to help her get rid of the bird. Luckly there are no signs of molestation on Turtle, just some bruising on her shoulders. Lou Ann doesn't understand and is furious with the fact that Taylor excused her self to help with a bird when Turtle was in need of her help and attention.
I think Taylor might have just left because maybe she knew that Turtle was going to be ok, like a motherly type instinct. But if Turtle were mine I would have been going crazy.
