The mother of the children explains to her husband why David has to go. What are her reasons? Are they reasonable? Why does her husband give in?

-David is an escaped prisoner which puts them at risk.

-They don't have resources to support David

-David makes mother nervous. David seems more interesting in helping them.

-David does not play with other kids his age.

-David seems like he needs to be somewhere.

I think mother has good reasons and seems aware that David has another reason for his life than safety and security. I think the husband gives in because he knows that the whole family is in danger if they keep David.
