Sini, who objectives to regain custody of her biological daughter sought right to talk over with her.
Sini took to the witness stand first, however invoked her fifth amendment right not to incriminate herself repeatedly all through wondering. One exception came when she used to be requested if she is trained a nurse -- to which she responded, "yes".
