Larry: [on attending a support group] What if I say no?
Edward Stratton III: Then our only other choice is to call in the police - and you'll be charged with child abuse, and Toby will go to a foster home.
Larry: He's *my* son! I don't think there's a court in the country that would take him away from me!
Edward Stratton III: You could be right. I remember last year there was a kid came into the hospital who was pretty banged up. The doctor found out his father had been beating him; they reported him, and the father went to court - and he swore up and down that he would never do that again. So the judge gave him the benefit of the doubt. And then a month later, he lost control and hit his son again, found himself right back in court - only this time, he was on trial for murder.
