too young to be left here alone yes I

didn't have any other choice Zach's very

responsible well you know we have

who's with you

hie hiie the

babysitter

[Music]

uhhuh can I speak to you

minute

[Music]

sure hey

hey you screwed up Christine

big time you left our kids with an

irresponsible teenage girl again way to

go she's not irresponsible it was an

accident an accident an accident that

wouldn't have happened if the mother had

been home being a mother you know what

Brad you never even paid attention to

Zach and Haley until we left town and

all this huffing and puffing about you

taking the kids from me it's not about

you loving them you're angry with me and

you're trying to hurt me I'm not walking

away from being their father you got

that you've got a wonderful way of

showing

fatherhood okay yeah you want to talk

about parental responsibility is that in

because what you just did here tonight

is going to change things I'm reporting

you to family services and I I think we

know what they'll do well you've got two

strikes against you two Brad one you

walked out on your kids and two you

haven't paid me a scent of Child Support

so why don't you talk to me about

parental

responsibility everything's going to be

okay I'm so glad you're here I uh I

called you on the way over I thought you

should probably know about this well

Christine called me 2 hours ago right

after the

accident look I know Christine means

well but she gets overwhelmed easily

excuse

me kids spills job I just I think having

custody the children is a little bit too

much for her right well that's something

the court will

decide right

[Music]

[Music]

thanks for being so brave today I

thought Haley was hurt

bad

yeah you're a good big

brother I'll be glad when she comes

home me

too sorry that Dad got so mad at you

I think maybe he just has a lot in his

mind you

to get mad all the

time I'm glad you're my

mom me too

[Music]

escaping escaping won't you get into

trouble sweetheart let me tell you a

little secret about living a longer

life some of the most fun you will ever
