After a 17 year old party-girl?s father is imprisoned, she must find the evidence to clear him before Social Services finds out and takes her 11 year old brother from her.

And since she’s only 17, isn’t she also liable to being institutionalized herself?

And how do the two kids survive on their own?? What’s their means of support, of sustenance, safety and shelter?? Isn’t mere survival a more pressing problem?? What’s the downside of being a ward of social services, anyway, especially compared to living on the mean streets by their own wits?? If social services take her boy, doesn’t that free her up to pursue her goal of exonerating her father?

I just don’t see how social services is her biggest dramatic problem to overcome. Merely surviving on their own would seem to a greater challenge, poses much greater risks.? Oh, and top of that the risks and hazards of finding the witnesses and evidence to exonerate her father.

fwiw
