Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He tokorua o nga hoa o te tamarikitanga i takaro tahi i te whutupaoro i te wa e tamariki ana, kua rite ki te marena i nga tau hei tane me te wahine i muri i te whakakotahitanga i muri i te pokanga o tetahi o ratou ki te pokanga o te ira tangata. Ko Christopher Dodd, 24, raua ko Fay Purdham, 27, he tokorua inaianei, ko te mea whakamutunga ka huri hei wahine i te 23 o ona tau. Ko te tokorua, e noho ana inaianei i South Bank, Middlesbrough, i tipu ake i a raua ano he tama, i mua i te ngaro o te whakapiri i te taiohi. Ka marenatia a Fay Purdham rāua ko Christopher Dodd i muri i te whakakotahitanga o ngā tau i muri i te tukunga o Miss Purdham ki te wahine. I tipu ake te tokorua i a rāua e tamariki ana, e tākaro ana i te whutupaoro me te Playstation mō ngā haora mutunga kore. Ko Miss Purdham, i whanau ko Kevin, (maui), i timata tana whakawhitinga i muri i te neke atu o Christopher (matau) mai i te rohe i noho ai raua i a raua tamariki. I muri tata mai i to raua wehenga, ka timata a Fay, i whanau a Kevin, ki te huri hei wahine ma te tango i nga homoni. He maha nga tau i muri mai, ka tutaki raua i tetahi huihuinga, a kei te whakamahere i to raua marena moemoea. 'I taku kitenga anō i a Fay, i miharo ahau ki te ataahua o a ia, ā, i hinga tonu ahau ki a ia,' te kī a Mr Dodd, e ako ana i te matū i te Whare Wānanga o Middlesbrough. 'I roa ahau e whakaaro ana i te mea ko ia taku hoa pai a Kevin engari kaore au i titiro ki a ia i tetahi atu huarahi ke atu i te mea he wahine ataahua ia.' He tino piri te tokorua i a rāua e tamariki ana, ā, he maha ngā haora i noho ai rātau ki te tākaro whutupaoro. Ko Christopher taku hoa pai i te ao i a au e tamariki ana. 'I noho tahi mātou i te wā katoa mai i te wā e iwa tau ana ahau ki te 10 - he hoa tata ia o te whānau - ā, he maha ngā haora i noho tahi ai mātou ki te tākaro i ngā kēmu 'tama' i a au e Kevin ana,' i kī a Miss Purdham. Kei te noho tahi te tokorua inaianei, kei te whakamahere hoki i to raua whanau, me te Miss Purdham i whakamutua tana ira ki mua i te huri i te ira tangata. Engari i a ia e tamariki tonu ana, e mea ana ia, e mohio ana ia he rerekē noa iho ia. 'I tākaro au ki ngā motokā, ki ngā pupuhi, ki ngā hākinakina hoki, pērā ki aku hoa, engari he pai hoki ki ahau te tākaro ki ngā pēpi.' I te 12 o ona tau, ka mōhio ia he tāne ia, ā, ka haere mai ki tōna whānau i muri i te whakapaunga...
Kei te whakamahere a Christopher Dodd, 24, rāua ko Fay Purdham, 27, i tā rāua marena. I tipu ake te tokorua nei i te wā e tamariki ana e tākaro whutupaoro ana me te Playstation. Whai muri i te ngaro o te whakapiri hei taiohi, ka puta mai a Fay, i whanau ko Kevin, he tangata takaro. I muri i te tango i nga horomona mo nga tau, i whakahaeretia ia ki te whakarereke ira tangata. I hui anō te tokorua ki te pōti rā whānau 21 o Mr Dodd, ā, kua whakau rāua inaianei.
