I came home unexpectedly and found four-year-old Kerensa sobbing with one side of her hair shaved away.

Chapter 25 - MY WORK CHANGES
I traveled less.
Not zero.
I also changed my company’s policy.
My business had nothing to do with creators.
Still, we sometimes used children in advertising.
Previously:
Agency handles releases.
After Kerensa:
Direct parent confirmation.
Minor welfare contact.
On-set stop authority.
No repeated distress takes.
No filming during meals without child-appropriate breaks.
Separate child earnings documentation.
Was I turning personal trauma into policy?
Yes.
But not publicity.
No press release.
No campaign.
Just internal systems.
One producer complained:
“This slows shoots.”
I answered:
May you like
“Then schedule better.”
That was all.
