"I have to notify your parents." Stafford stressed. "You can see that, can't you? You're a young boy who found his way onto my station. I'm a Starfleet officer and...I'm a parent myself, believe it or not. Your parents are probably worried sick."
"However," The captain went on. "If you like, I will also include a letter from you to them indicating you want to stay on here at the Columbus, and that I would personally oversee your development. That is part of the deal, Kurv. If you're on my station you are my responsibility. With you, even more so. If you think that's a good deal, here's a PADD and you can start writing the letter to your parents. If not, I can have you back on Andoria in a few days. Think about it, son. If you stay here it won't be easy."
