Party of Five, Season 4

Social Worker:
Is there a plan in place if Charlie doesn't recover?

Bailey:
Hey, he's gonna get better.

Julia:
He really is.

Social Worker:
I'm sorry, but you don't know that. I know you don't want to hear this, but I believe these kids are being neglected.

Bailey:
But that's...come on. It's not like they're living on the street, or they're not eating.

Social Worker:
No, but frankly, I think the two of you are in way over your heads, and look at the cost. You've got a 15-year-old who practically dropped out at school, and nobody noticed! That's neglect. And as far as I can tell, she's the one who ends up looking after Owen a lot of the time. Now, this is a girl who has not yet demonstrated that she can take care of herself, let alone a 4-year-old. And does anybody make time for that little boy, or is it just about shuttling him to and from daycare? Because that's also neglect.

Julia:
Look, we're really trying.

Social Worker:
You know what I see? I see a family that is one step away from complete disaster, and I will not let that happen.
