Regulation

Ms. Warren?

Ms. Warren? Hi, ma'am.

My name is Mia Nichols,

and I'm with the Department of Health and Human Services.

This about Kaylee, isn't it?

- Yes it is. We tried to reach you by phone or through

Kaylee's school.

We just weren't able to-

Is this about that happy patch?

- It's actually called a micro doser, Ms. Warren.

And yes, it is.

- Well we don't need the government all up in our business.

I know our rights, and they mean that

we don't need nothing to do with that, so.

- I'm sorry, Ms. Warren, but to apply for the exemption,

you would've had to be certified religious by a

psychiatrist, and I don't have any indication of the here.

You're free to do what you want as an adult,

but it's what's best for Kaylee as she grows up.

Every child has the right to be happy, by law.

- So, you're in the fourth grade, Kaylee?

How do you like it?

You know, I remember when I was in the fourth grade.

I don't want a happy patch.

My mom said that's why you're here.

- Its actually called a micro doser, Kaylee.

Riley's sister got one,

and she said it makes her feel weird.

- Sometimes it takes a little bit for the computer to learn

someone's specific chemistry,

but once it does, it really works.

It's really neat, actually.

It can monitor all sorts of levels in your body,

and it distributes exactly what you need.

My mom says I don't have to take it.

I'll run away of you try and put one on.

Do you come out here to play often?

Yeah, pretty often.

Like four or five times a week.

Wow. That is a lot.

Yeah, I got a fort out here.

Really? Can I see it?

Okay.

This is my fort.

I didn't build it and I don't know who did,

but I think they moved away or something.

And no one else knows about it

because nobody else comes out here.

Do you think it would be nice if

you had more friends to play with?

I guess.

- Well, did you know that research says it's easier for

happy and regulated children to make more friends at school?

I don't want more friends from school.

You know, they're weird and mean.

- Does it make you sad that they're mean?

I guess.

- Well what happens when you get sad?

I come out here.

Mmhm. To cry?

- Sometimes, but when I'm sad I play with Ramona.

I'm sorry. Who is Ramona?

She's my friend.

Okay. Does she live in the neighborhood?

- She's a panther or maybe a leopard. I forget.

What's the one with the spots?

I...

- She comes when I get sad, and we talk about her home,

which is Toy in no fear city.

And then we fly there.

Sometimes there's sky pirates,
