We need MORE of that attitude now. Instead, we get "My kid, right or
wrong." The parents mistakenly BELIEVE they are protecting their children,
but in fact, they are leading them down the road to ruin. Their children
will "learn" that they can get away with ANYTHING and Mommy and Daddy will
protect them. The prisons are FULL of people who learned that lesson well!
