>>101469731>how?simple, clyde let the situation known to his parents and teachers, then they take the positive action of taking lincoln with them, with brawl in the family the kid could have spend the night with clyde parents or ask agnes to let him stay 1 night with her, hell even have some true character development over there by making clyde see that family in a more darker tone and make the mcbrides be exceptical of the louds, the teacher and director would see something off with louds.
with no such luck, the mcbrides could have been a good support for lincoln and finally see that lincoln is in danger around his family so the best course is to take lincoln in and make sure he stays away from them, the teachers could help to by making it easy for him on school and understanding that the louds probably are abusive with lincoln and taking action on that, then his grandfather is told of this situation by the director of the school or clyde parents, making albert really worried for lincoln and pissed off at his family, particularly lynn. sr and rita for letting this happen.
in fact, it could have been a perfect example on what not to do and would have changed forever.
