(soft music playing) - I was in jail, opened my eyes and I was like something gotta change.

I just found I could change my ways now, my way of thinking, my way of acting, reacting, and I could, you know, really become the man that I want to become, the man a different man.

So today I try to live with integrity.

Hello?

- Yeah Andino, how are you?

- I'm good.

How you doing?

- Good, good.

Is Angela with you?

- Yes, she's right here.

- Yeah, I'm right here.

- Hold on.

DCFS calls me once a week, just to check in on me to see how I'm doing.

See if I'm still working, where I'm living.

If I visited my daughter Eva, all those little things.

- We talked about expectations of children.

We talked about empathy.

We talked about discipline, family roles, and power and independence.

So these five areas are the ones that you guys are gonna see come up week after week.

- I have to do a class, Nurturing Parenting class, and it's a 16 week class, and with Angela too.

Angela also has to do these things.

- Some parents set very unrealistic expectations for children.

My child is four years old.

Yet I'm expecting them to act like the eight year old.

What is appropriate for you guys to expect of Eva, right?

Yeah.

- I think, at first, Angela was feeling that why do I have to do this?

- Just grab a white piece of paper.

- But then that we started the parenting classes.

She sees that it is helpful and it's not a waste of time.

- This is just showing, you know, what I need a little help in and you know what I need to improve, you know.

I do have three other kids, you know, but it's all new.

It's been eight years since I had to deal with, you know, toddlers or babies, you know, it's all new again.

- Yeah.

It's almost like you're starting over again fresh.

- Right, exactly.

- We're learning how to nurture our child.

How to nurture ourselves also is one of the things that stood out to me.

If we don't nurture ourselves we can't be there for our child.

- I will show you guys both of your scores and I wanna have a little discussion about what each carrier means.

Okay?

For empathy, you received a five, a solid score.

Discipline, and do you know you received a four.

That is still within the average range.

- Okay.

- So, solid score coming into the program.

All right, Angela.

So, I wanted to show you your score on discipline.

It's actually an eight.

So, I'm gonna go up here to show you what an eight is.

The eight is above average.

Right?

And I just wonder if you're sure you coming into the program with an eight, is a very solid score.

For power and independence, you received a seven and that is still average on the higher side.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

It really, really good really solid score coming into the program.

How can you make Eva know what I say matters?

I'm powerful.

I'm independent.

So that's the type of Eva that you want to raise, right?

- Right, absolutely.

- And so I would say... - I gave her the answers.

That's why she got seven and eight (both laughing) - You know, for the answers, you guys both did good.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

- Really, really good.

And I need you guys should both be very very proud of yourselves.

- Thank you.

- All right.

Bye bye Eight and seven.

(indistinct) - I got a low score.

- Stop.

You know, you don't have a daughter you've never done this before.

Those scores are high for never ever doing this.

- I don't know what it is.

- Yeah.

(kissing) - So today we're gonna give our elevator pitch.

- Okay.

- And we are going to have Mr. Andino start.

- Oh wow.

(claps) Well, good afternoon everybody.

My name is Andino Medina and I work at Crazy Clean.

Whether I be running a crew or given classes, but I see myself doing one or the other, or both.

I like doing what I do.

I like working where I work at and I wanna stick around.

It's always special when Angela and I go together to visit ever Eva.

(sigh) Eva Eva - You eat?

(foreign language) - Eva - Come kiss I miss you.

(kissing) I love you.

- I think Eva understands that Angela is her mother more than she understands that I'm her dad - Mommy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, Mommy shark, show me the shark.

Show me the shark make the Sharkey Eva baby shark - Two years from now, there's gonna be no court.

There's gonna be no DCFS.

It's going to be over with.

Whether I have custody or Irene has custody.

And if they give Irene custody, I mean, we talked about that too, well.

As long as I'm doing good, she has no problem with me having Eva five days, seven days a week whatever the case may be.

- I see you Eva.

- All the time we're together Angela, myself, and Eva I think about how we're gonna be as a family - Say mom - Mom - Say dad.

- Dad - Say book.

- Book (Andino laughing) - Say Duck.

(Eva mumbling) - Yeah.

In there.

- Well, they will be great parents, for Eva, Angela and me.

Because we know what it is to, to lose Eva.

(Andino and Eva playing and laughing) - You feel chilly?

We want to be there for her, no matter what.

What says over there?

Eva That's you.

People make mistakes as you try, I don't know if you learn from them, you know I'm alive, I'm living.

And I thank God that, that I'm here.

(Angela playing with Eva) - Peekaboo (both laughing) - There's a lot that I've done that I wish I'd never done before I could change.

And hopefully, God willing, Eva don't have to go through that.

I mean, if she does, I'm gonna be there no matter what.

No matter what I'm gonna be there.

As long as I live so.

I Love you.
