you say that like it's a good thing.
yes. i am seeing you tomorrow, mr. rabins. she's still screaming? no, mcdonald's won't help. she's four months old.
i don't know if you remember me. i'm margaret brown from children's social services. we met at the police station.
it would be better if you stay here. i'm sorry to say this, mr. dawson, it's clear how much you love your daughter, but we're going to have to remove lucy from your home.
i know how hard this must be.  . hello, betsy. i'm scheduled to come to your apartment at four. no, not five every two hours. it's two every five hours. she only weighs thirty pounds for chrissakes.  the city has given me the difficult task of deciding when to intervene on behalf of the child. unfortunately, i've learned the hard way that it's better too soon than too late. for now the court will decide what's in lucy's best interest.
lucy, i'm sorry. but it doesn't look like he's going to make it.
lucy, he's an hour and 45 minutes late. you'll only have a few minutes left.
excuse me, time's up.
i have another client at two-thirty. you need to put your shoes on and get ready to go.
i'll help you.
i'm -
i have seen -
you -
there's -
is that a threat?
what?! no, mrs. sloan. his temperature couldn't be 117, no not even 107. okay, okay, i'll come. come on lucy, i'll take you back.
lucy, mrs. kerry's here to take you back.
c'mon, lucy. it's time to say goodbye.
please help me.
all of that is well and good but the fact that mr. dawson quite his job, missed his hearing, and did not even show up for his visits with his daughter.
but once again he had no idea how his behavior during that depression impacted on his daughter.
it's too late! the foster family is petitioning the court for sole custody of lucy and i fully support their request.
