Gabriel has a hard time sleeping through the night, and is small for his age. In the "perfect" society desired by the community, this is enough to "release" a child. Jonas' father, who works with the infants, thinks Gabriel is "sweet", and should be given a chance to survive--maybe more importantly, a chance to experience life in the community. The family has to sign contracts that they will not become too attached to the child...a difficult thing to ask of humans.
