5th The lack or rigidity and TV/video on the kids probably makes it more likely they could be in an unsafe situation. |
1) What makes you think the % of bad people has risen? Sounds like a knee jerk reaction because there are more "minorities" around.
2) Newsflash - church is a great source of child molestation
3) Agreed - and Ritalin also contributes to fat kids cause it knocks them out and slows metabolism - from watching my brother take it for years. It definitely helped him but it also messed him up in some ways. He doesn't need it anymore and is definitely way better off.
4) I don't know, if you shot someone back then you probably got in trouble too right?
5) Parental responsiblity - take the TV & Video away and you don't have to worry about the MTV influence - IMO kids should not have TVs and computers in their rooms. One TV in the house so parents maintain control, one computer in the house too most likely.
