What the heck was going on?

I was waiting to go home on Thursday and this family of four was among the throngs of folks at the bus stop. This girl who seemed to be around 10 was crying periodically very loud. I happened to look over and the father came up to the group of people I was standing with and asked if he should see an attorney about his girls lip being cut by a dentist. It didn't look too bad to me, it looked more like a cold sore, and I told him I wasn't sure. He proceeded to say that they wouldn't let him in the back of the dental office and the daughter told him that they kept grabbing her arm to be quiet. I told him that he should look into it. He proceeded to tell his daughter I'm going to get a lawyer for you honey and we're going to be set and you won't be in any pain. Good luck with that case. Thankfully my bus arrived and I was able to get out of there. They seemed to be a family of con artists.
Bus rides equal entertainment.
