OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Gone Baby Gone Makes Custody a Neighborhood Proof Trap
The mystery becomes a custody argument. Procedure keeps forcing the detective to decide whether legal truth and moral protection are the same thing.
Why it works
The final choice lands because the investigation has already made neighborhood loyalty, police power, family neglect, and child safety inseparable. Evidence does not save him from judgment.
