:32:02
What are you doing
touching my kid?

:32:03
-Surprise!
-Leave him alone!

:32:06
Happy birthday.
:32:09
Daddy?
:32:10
You don't
have to call him Daddy.

:32:12
She said you're not
her real father anyway.

:32:14
She said she was adopted.
:32:24
Lucy!
:32:26
Given the fact
that the father...

:32:28
was arrested
for solicitation...

:32:30
couldn't control
his emotions...

:32:32
endangering other children.
:32:34
No, you can't!
It's her birthday!

:32:39
Ms. Calgrove also cites...
:32:41
Mr. Dawson's mental delays
which raise serious questions...

:32:44
about his ability
to properly parent.

:32:47
Run!
:32:48
I find at this time...
:32:50
it's not in the best interest of
the child to remain in the home.

:32:53
And I order her detained...
:32:54
until a formal
jurisdictional hearing.

:32:58
Mr. Dawson.
:33:00
Is there anything
you'd like to add?

:33:03
I wanted to make it
A really special surprise party.

:33:10
So I went, and I got plates
at the Pic 'n' Save...

:33:14
in yellow and in pink--
like a princess.

:33:19
And then I went
to the toy store...

:33:22
and I got balloons
with the helium in them.

:33:25
-Mr. Dawson?
-Yeah.

:33:26
It sounds like you gave her
such a lovely party.

:33:31
Yes, I'm sure it was.
:33:32
Right now, I want to talk to you
about your legal rights.

:33:37
OK. There's room
at this table...

:33:39
if anybody wants
to sit next to me.

:33:42
I Just want to talk to you
About your legal rights...

:33:44
so if you have not already
retained legal counsel...

:33:48
the court will appoint
someone for you...

:33:50
to present your case
on January 5. OK?

:33:58
That's a month from now...
