I have yet to have children.
I do not know how it feels to give birth to another human being and to experience that life long love---that maternal bond.
My friends with kids often remark they'd do anything to protect their children.
Playing devil's advocate, I jump on the bandwagon and ask them if they knew that their child (or children)commited a crime, would they ever turn them in to the police.
Every last one of them has said no.
They couldn't bring themselves to turn their children in---no matter how horrific the act.
I counter with the statement, "So why do you bother teaching them right from wrong and taking them to church?
That one is usually met with icy silence.
I guess it's difficult to turn over one's offspring to the authorities.
That's why this woman not only gets my praise but my prayers and respect as well.
Instead of turning a blind eye, she made a huge personal sacrifice.
She knows that all of the best examples begin at home.

m new to your blog...so i started reading a year back yesterday. I couldnt agree more! My mom & dad raised me to be held accountable for my actions. they said if i ever went to jail no matter what the crime, they would not bail me out. if i killed someone, they would turn me in. I wonder if its a culture thing, because i know plenty of people in my family who feel the same way. However, i know my momma raised me right! And lots of people, were not.
If you feel like reading my blog, its

We may not agree on everything, but its fun reading about things that you may not agree on, and see the other side.
