- Content to know about
- A significant storyline of physical abuse by her older brother, described in detail: dragging her by the hair, shoving her head in a toilet, breaking her wrist, threatening to kill her.

How recent
The line under a date fills as time passes: empty when new, then one equal share each for a day, a week, a month and a year. For episodes and other items it is full at 2 years; for "last checked", at a year. A striped line means the date is known only to the month or year.
