Is a lesson in parenting to be learned in all this ? Are there parents out there who are not bothered to know what their kids are doing ?

In today's society, kids are exposed very quickly to sexuality, pornography, violence etc... Even violent video games. Does all this add up to educating our children to having no remorse for others ? I say yes !

I will agree with most parents, who will say that you can't control every little thing that kids do. However, being a parent myself I tend to believe that respect is not learned in school. I am one of those parents who were very strict between the age of 1 to 8 with my children and firmly believe that all human values must be instigated and tested as early as possible in a child.

I guess some will disagree. But corrective measures are mistakes that should not have happened. Explaining to your child what can and cannot be done is common sense. These must be well established prior to the child's puberty.

We all rebelled at one point in our teenage years. However I remember thinking what will my mother say if I do that. It's much harder to change somebody's habits(bad habits in these cases) than to do all that is possible so that bad habits are not developed.

I believe in the surveillance of my children as my responsibility. I cannot understand those who will say that rapists and/or killers had very good parents. That's a lot of bull, something went wrong at one point and the parents failed to notice. They may be nice people, they just failed as parents somewhere in their training. Cause that's what parents are supposed to be, trainers in the apprenticeship of their siblings.

For my child's inappropriate actions are also my failures as a parent.

As much as exceptions do exist, I am not a firm believer to all exceptions.

This is just my opinion but I think that we as a society have found excuses for everything.

Johnny Bad Seed appears in front of the Judge for the 3rd time for Domestic Violence. Miss I can save everyone I know why he acts like this steps in and makes yet another excuse that Johnny Bad was abused as a child. Johnny Bad is now 37. Miss I can save everyone pleads the case out and Johnny Bad is in therapy. Again.

Long time past due for him to be held accountable for his own actions.

Timmy Two Step has been avoiding jail time because Timmy Two has a healthy bank account and can easily afford the smooth talking lawyer. Timmy Two Step continues to defraud the government with the puzzles of our own laws.

Common sense would say lock these yahoos up. But often times common sense just isn't supported by our own laws.

I hope this makes sense.
