一个六岁的女孩和她的姐姐被他们的父亲带到这里来评估咳嗽、流鼻涕和低烧的病史。除了感冒的迹象外，医生还注意到女孩的鼻梁相当肿胀和瘀伤。当被问到发生了什么事时，她无辜地耸耸肩，她父亲唯一的猜测是，既然她梦游，她可能撞到了什么东西。父亲不耐烦地坐着，但随着提问的进行，他变得越来越自卫，一度愤怒地宣称：“我们不打我们的孩子，如果这是你要问的。使情况进一步复杂化的是，几位护士告诉她，这个家庭在社会和经济上都处于“边缘“，额外的压力很可能“让这个家庭分崩离析”。''
A six-year-old girl and her older sister are brought by their father to be evaluated for a history of cough, runny nose, and low-grade fever. In addition to signs of a cold, the physician notes that the girl's nasal bridge is quite swollen and bruised. When asked what happened, she innocently shrugs her shoulders, and her father's only conjecture is that since she sleepwalks she might have bumped into something. The father sits impatiently, but as questioning progresses becomes increasingly defensive, at one point angrily declaring "we don't beat our kids, if that's what you're asking.'' Further complicating the situation is information from several nurses that this family is "on the brink'' both socially and financially, and that additional stress is likely "to blow this family apart.''
