A 15-year-old boy, Daniel Gross Jr., is testifying in court about his experiences with his parents and his baby brother, Dylan. Daniel testifies that he saw Dylan with a swollen and bruised head, which his father explained was caused by a dreamcatcher incident. However, Daniel does not believe this explanation. Daniel also mentions that his parents asked him to provide urine samples in a cup, which he did, but he does not know what his father did with the samples. Daniel's father is implied to be a drug user, and it is suggested that he may have used his son's urine to pass drug tests.
Daniel also testifies that he was removed from his parents' home in April 2019 and placed with his aunt and uncle, Phyllis Shirey, by children's services. He states that he did not see Dylan for a period of time after he left the house and does not know what happened to him.
The defense attorney, Scott, asks Daniel questions to clarify his testimony, including about the injuries to Dylan's head and the urine samples. The attorney seems to be trying to establish a timeline of events and to understand Daniel's relationship with his parents.
The conversation between the attorneys and the judge suggests that the case is related to child abuse or neglect, and that Daniel's father may be accused of harming Dylan. The attorneys discuss the possibility that Daniel's father used his son's urine to pass drug tests, which could be relevant to the case.
