ut he wasn''t very nice to me.Sometimes he hit me.One night he broke two of my teeth.Then the baby was ill and cried a lot.Jason hit him too.Jack was only two months old,and Jason hit him-a little baby!’
''That''s a lie!''said Jason.I didn''t-’
‘Oh yes,you did!''Fiona said.She spoke to the policeman again.‘So I left him,and took the baby with me.Jason didn''t look for us.He didn''t want us,and he never gave me any money for our son.He went home to his mother and father,and he forgot about little Jack and me.I forgot about Jason too.Then I saw him on television,with a cheque from Sunshine Lotteries for five million pounds.Well,I''m his wife,Jack''s his son-and we want half of his money!"

T''m not going to give her anything,''Jason said.‘She left me.She went away with a new lover,and she took our baby with her.She never wrote or telephoned.I looked for her,but I couldn''t find her.I cried every night …''
‘Your wife tells a different story.She left you because you hit her,and the baby.Is that true?’
