Chief Bogo arrived at Cody's old school He hoped these mammals would be able to provide some answers that would help the police force to find the boy's father.
The princial allowed him into his office and the cheif sat down facing the middle aged bear.
"I'm Prinicpal Grizzlepike" he introduced. "I understand you wish to ask me some questions about Cody White?"
Bogo nodded "That is correct, the boy has made a very serious allegtion against someone, and we need to know as much information as we can." he repiled.
"Well I never really saw that much of Cody." the bear said. "I seen him around the school of course, but we never really spoke."
Cheif Bogo raised a eyebrow. "Did he display any unsual behaviours?" he asked "Anything out of the ordinary?"
Grizzlepike remained slient for a few moments. "Well one thing i did notice was that even in warm weather he's always wear a jumper, and he would never take it off."
Bogo began to write some things down. "Ok any bruises or scars on him?" he asked.
"Well a few bruises, but when the teachers asked him, he'd just say he fell over."
Bogo frowned "Sir are you aware of the safeguarding policy?" he asked
"Uh yes officer." he repiled
"Are you aware that if you see any signs of abuse or neglect you need to report it?"
The bear began to sweat, he was getting nervous. "But sir, it was just a few brusies, there really was no sign he was getting abused."
Bogo shook his head "No there were signs, there are always signs. You just ignored them. You said he always wore a jumper even in hot weather, did you ever think, he was trying to hide more his bruises?"
The principal gulped. "But officer i didn't want to cause trouble with his family, i mean what if i was wrong?"
"Then that wouldn't have mattered, you won't get into any trouble if you're wrong about abuse." Bogo sighed deeply. "Ok did you ever see his father?"
"Once" he repiled, "Cody was sick at school, and had to come pick him up. He didn't speak to me or anyone he just took Cody and went."
Bogo nodded "Ok that will all for today, i may need to see you again someday." he repiled.
Cheif Bogo left even though he still didn't know anything more about Cody's fathers whereabouts, he did now know there was evidence about him being abused.
About a hour later Bogo arrived back at the ZPD where Nick and Judy awaited him.
"Did you get any information?" Judy asked.
"Well all i know is that there was some signs he was being abused, but the school failed to report it." he repiled in a tone of anger.
"So what are we to do now sir?" Nick asked
Bogo thought for a moment. "We'll just have to keep just looking, i'll send some officers back to his neighbourhood. Myabe we can get some answers from mammals who lve near him. Until then you two must protect him.
"We will." Both the bunny and the fox said.
