The Apple and The Tree

The child is brought in by police for a mental health assessment after engaging in some very high-risk behaviour.

When the hospital phoned the parent for consent to treat, the parent answered the phone and then said "Hang on. I need to put you on hold. I've got Children's Aid on the other line."

When the parent finally arrives at the hospital, hours after the child did, they are observed sporting a t-shirt with a very inappropriate saying and picture, and a ball cap emblazoned with a pro-drug emblem.

Now I'm convinced: losers are made, not born.
