Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi tamaiti tokowaru tau te pakeke i tukinotia, i whiua kinotia i a ia e tamariki ana, ā, ka kore e taea e ia te whakamahi i ona waewae, kua tuhia e ia he reta tuwhera ki ōna kaimahi pāpori me ngā kaitirotiro e whakawhetai ana ki a rātou mō te tirotiro i tōna take, me te whakanoho i a ia ki tētahi kāinga harikoa i reira e arohaina ana ia. Ko Marie Surprenant, no Atlanta, Georgia, e waru marama te pakeke, e 14 pauna noa iho te taumaha i te wā i whakawhiwhia ai ia ki te Children's Healthcare o Atlanta, neke atu i te 14 ngā whatianga, he maha ngā whatianga me te whara i te puku o te roro i waiho ai ia hei kaitiaki. Whai muri i te mauheretanga o tana whaea koiora me tana hoa rangatira, i tukuna a Marie ki te tiaki whakatipu, ana i muri mai ka whakamanahia e Michele Surprenant. 'E hiahia ana ahau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe mo te hanga i ahau hari mā te hoatu ki ahau i te taiao hou mahana, me te haumaru,' tīmata Marie tona reta tuhituhi, i whakaputaina i runga i te Child Healthcare o Atlanta o te rangitaki. 'Na kua ahau he kāinga e he pai, a ka whai ahau e toru kai pai i te ra.' He ataata katoa: I whakaahuahia a Marie Surprenant i ora mai i te tukino me tana whaea whakatipu a Michele i te haerenga ki te takutai. Ko Marie, i whakaaetia tata nei ki tētahi o ngā kura tūmataiti pai rawa o te taone mō te tau tuawhā, i haere tonu ki te whakamōhio i a ia anō me te kōrero i tōna kōrero. 'I ahau e tamariki ana i whara ahau, a ko koe i runga i taku take,' i tuhituhi ia. 'I ahau e iti ana i whara ahau, a kihai i haere ahau i te katoa.' I tuhituhi a Marie i tētahi pūrongo taipitopito e pā ana ki te tinihanga a te kaumeahine o tōna whaea tūturu i te rūma ohorere mō te āhua o ōna whara, e kī ana i hinga ia i te moenga. I kii ia na te mea i uru atu ana ana kaimahi hapori ki te whakatau i tana keehi kaore te 'tangata kino' e whara i a ia - me etahi atu ranei. 'Ki te kore koe e āwhina i ahau, ki taku whakaaro, ka noho mokemoke tonu toku ora. I te mea kaore pea ratou e awhina i ahau, kaore e whangai i ahau, ka patu ranei i ahau ina tangi ahau, 'i kii ia. Engari ināianei kua pai ake ahau. He taiao haumaru, harikoa hoki taku i tēnei wā. Kei te noho au ki te taha o te hunga mohio. [sic] 'I kii a Marie ko tana oranga he pai ake,' ahakoa i kii ia ko te haurangi o tana kuri a Jo e haurangi ana ia. I haere tonu ia mā te tuku taipitopito...
