The way of redemption lies within.
——Samuel Norton
Vincent Tao had spent an entire night in the detention room of the Las Vegas Police Department. He had only managed to nap for a brief half-hour during the darkest hour before dawn, only to be jolted awake by nightmares, realizing his situation was even worse than the nightmares.
A few hours ago, he was asleep at his home in North Las Vegas, with his four-year-old son in the small room next door.
He was in the middle of divorce proceedings with his wife. Working at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, he was willing to give up the house and most of his savings just to fight for custody of his child, but this is not an easy task in America.
For children aged 0-6, the court typically awards custody to the mother in most cases.
