{{Red|Daniel:}} So wonderful!

{{Blue|Anchorwoman:}} The [[Tennyson Center|Tennyson Center for Children]] has become one of the Rocky Mountain region's leading treatment centers for emotionally and crisis affected children, particularly those suffering from abuse and neglect.

{{Green|Nancy:}} Good boy. [Kisses Daniel on the cheek]

{{Red|Daniel:}} When I first came here, I- I actually... was really nervous.

{{Blue|Anchorwoman:}} That's 14-year-old [[Daniel Larson|Danny]], who came from an extremely neglectful home.

[Daniel giggles, Nancy laughs]

{{Blue|Anchorwoman:}} When his [[Nancy Shimer|grandmother]] got word of Danny's situation, she moved here from California to be his guardian,

{{Red|Daniel:}} Wonderful!

{{Blue|Anchorwoman:}} ...so he wouldn't end up in a foster home. Danny still lived at the center for a year and a half, but now lives with his grandma, continuing to go to school at Tennyson and receive treatment.

{{Green|Nancy:}} When he came to Tennyson almost three years ago, he was very angry... and confused, and feeling very uncertain about his life, and where he belonged, and what was going to happen.

{{Blue|Anchorwoman:}} Rod Whitt, the president of Tennyson Center, says the program gives children like Danny great opportunity.

{{Purple|Rod Whitt:}} Uhh... Do they bring some challenges? Absolutely, they do. But, uh... you know, they've got the opportunity to, number one, be safe. Number two, uh, receive some attention... that they've- in some cases, never received. And, number three, to get help, and to be themselves, and to really let their own personalities come forth.

{{Red|Daniel:}} Woo-hoo!

{{Blue|Anchorwoman:}} But looking at Danny now, you will see a smiling, laughing young boy with the [[Pedophilia|world]] [[Homeless Era|ahead]] [[Incidents|of]] [[Second Jail Arc|him]].

{{Red|Daniel:}} This is wonderful today!

{{Blue|Anchorwoman:}} Danny and his grandmother have both seen huge improvements.

{{Red|Daniel:}} I learned to... [stutter] When I'm in school, to do school, and... n-never quit, cause if you quit, you won't know what to do. And... um... [Smacks lips] if- if someone's trying to get you upset, don't let them make you feel bad about yourself. Heh… [Inaudible] Just be good, and um... make yourself, uh... feel happy.

{{Red|Daniel:}} [In playground] I am Captain Hook!

{{Green|Nancy:}} He likes himself now. He feels good about himself. I'm not saying he's a finished job. He's got more work to do, but he's a much different child than he was when he first came here.

{{Blue|Anchorwoman:}} Danny now has big dreams and is looking forward to the future.

{{Red|Daniel:}} [Hollers, goes down slide]
