Hello, hello everybody. How are you doing? Got a little bit of time today. Thought I'd come in and say,

Hey! Sounds like the beginning of a country song.

So, yes, I just wanted to come and say hi everybody.

And thank you of course for being, and I'm here, if you have any questions, comments, issues, challenges, problems, whatever's on your mind.

I am happy to help, happy to chat, and can be philosophy, can be personal, can be whatever.

Is cooking in your nodules?

I'm thrilled to help. I did have a wee something a wee bit-o something prepared

should we have a slightly shy crowd today so that is ready but let me just give a pause here don't forget to

unmute if you have any questions or issues or challenges to take a care of.

Hi Staff, can you air me?

Yes sir, go ahead.

How are you doing this afternoon?

I'm well, thanks. How you doing doing I have a question about child abuse and child neglect

one was a story is that sorry is that background noise sounds like you're

doing the dishes or something is that coming from you?

Yeah I am I have I don't have very much time until I have to be somewhere else.

Okay. My question is about child neglect. My

parents are actually pretty great people.

They took a severely neglected child into their home. They never officially adopted it, but he practically

became one of my brothers. Now obviously when you take a severely neglected child into your home, there is some adjustment period and there

will inevitably be problems.

So my parents set us down all their biological children and they told us about their choice and the problems we were most likely going to experience, which indeed happened.
