� You got into a lot of fights?

� With my dad, yeah.

Especially if they've experienced abuse like Jonathan.

Hello, Jonathan.

How are you feeling today?

Well, I have some good news.

Your father has decided not to press charges

which means that we should be able to get you out of here

and into a group home in a couple of weeks.

I know, small consolation.

I've got something for you.

In fact, the whole herd is.

You ruined your picture.

I forgive him.
