Bless the Child Page #2
Well, I found a puppy and I bet he|needs someone to take care of him.
Oh, you're probably|too young to have a puppy.
- No, I could take care of a dog.|- Yeah?
Excellent. Well, he's right|over here in my van.
- Wow. Can I have him?|- Maybe.
We're looking for a very|special little boy, Martin.
If you're the one,|you can have the puppy.
- But first you have to pass a test.|- Like what?
The boy that we're looking for can|do things that nobody else can do,
sort of like magic tricks.
- Do you know any tricks, Martin?|- I don't know.
Well, maybe we can|help you find out.
Bet you that puppy's hungry.|Voila! Here.
Why don't you see if he'll|take that from you. Go on.
What's the matter?|It's only garbage, honey. Come on.
- [Clattering]|- [ Squeaking ]
Hey. Hey!
It's just little mice,
like Mickey Mouse.
It's no big deal.
[Woman On TV] The body|of six-year-old Tania Riley,
the fourth victim|in a series of kidnap murders,
was discovered last night near|a residential area in Queens.
A statewide search is now|in progress for the killer.
Police have yet|to name a suspect...
and have opened a 24-hour|hot line for any information...
regarding this or any|of the other murders.
- [Continues, Indistinct]|- Hey. Hey, hey.
Let's put the dolly|in the car.
Hi, Maria. I'm really late.|I've gotta run to work.
Okay. It's bedtime,|mi angelito.
On. For Teddy.
Oh, okay.|But just for Teddy.
Your mommy's|very pretty, yes?
Did you pray for her?
Oh, Cody.
You know this.|I tell you this.
You pray to the baby Jesus|for your mommy,
and one day she will|come back to you.
Not coming, Mommy.|Not come.
I'm sorry, corazon.
I'm sorry, corazon.
You pray. You see.
Who knows, okay?
Buenasnoches, mi angelito.
Buenas noches, mi angelito.
[Applause On TV]
[Woman]|Again, our guest today, Eric Stark.
You probably remember him as Little|Luke, the child star of Family Days.
Today he's here to talk about|his work as founder of The New Dawn,
one of the fastest-growing|self-help organizations in America.
Honey, you have|five minutes.
- Then you have to go get dressed.|- ...an addict by 15.
There were even rumors at one point|that you had died from an overdose.
[Scraping]
But now you're helping|these runaway kids.
You're helping the abused kids.|You're getting them off the streets.
You're getting them off drugs|and into your rehab centers.
- What's your secret?|- [Turns Down]
These kids are|tortured with morality.
They feel terribly guilty|and they want to forget.
So what we try to do at New Dawn...
is teach these kids to look|inside themselves--
