I don't have to be ominiscient to know alot more than you do.

Ya know, you sit there and type **** about people you don't even ****ing
know. Derogatory things. I hope to hell you are sued out your ass for the
libelous - defamatory things you've said. The responses you have been
giving - derate any sort of professionalism you claim. YOU are acting on the
same scale you're putting those debating you - on. It sure must suck to be
you, because you're so full of it you must stink so bad no one can stand to
be around you. Some day - some one will knock you off your high horse. I
didn't say throne, because the only throne you own is the white porcelain
one you park your ass on - trying to expel some of the stuff you're so full
of - but obviously constipated - by your head stuck up there.
HOW DARE you act like some GOD and put people down you've never met or know
nothing about - as to how their children came up in life.

In case you've not heard the news reports in past few years, there have been
quite a few teens - who've had the best of homes, end up dead or in jail -
why? BECAUSE - they went their own way - contrary to the goodness their
parents tried to instill in them. You obviously never heard of the drug
epidemic that kids get caught up in, the drinking and so on. PEER PRESSURE,
NOT JUST BAD PARENTING can do it. For you not to acknowledge those facts,
you are the one who is clueless. There are countless tales on TV and radio
of teens who've gone astray or died - due to their decisions. Decisions to
get involved in things their parents had no clue of. WHY? BECAUSE - those
"loving parents" as you say - trusted their children. They could do no
wrong. Kids who had the best of homes. A GOOD HOME - does NOT guarantee a
GOOD KID. Get your head out of your ass for a change. Expel some of the crap
you're so full of. Open your eyes once wiped clean of the crappy film - blow
your nose of the fecal matter you inhaled, clean your throat - then take a
nice long look at and deep breath of "REALITY".

Contrary to your "perfect" bringing up of kids, I've personally seen kids in
loving homes - trusted - end up in trouble. I've also seen many kids who's
asses were beat for doing wrong - like stealing or disrespecting their
elders/authority figures and grew up to be fine outstanding people - like
many of the older population can attest too. Ask some of them how many times
they were taken out behind the barn and had their asses tanned. They'll tell
you how much better off they are for it. Those who don't believe in
correcting a child, are the pussies in this society who are now reaping what
they sow - disobedient children. The same children who will tell their
parents, teachers, ministers, police officers and so on - to go ****
themselves. They have NO respect for authority. The candy asses of this
country have placed them above any form of correction. This isn't the "Leave
it to Beaver" or "Ozzie and Harriet" - age. I'm not saying kids need to be,
should be or deserve to be "abused", but they do NOT grow up trouble free -
without proper guidance and correction as needed. You're suggesting that if
you treat your children right, they won't even need corrected. MAN, THAT IS
SOME CROCK.... IF you are the professional you say, obviously, you've missed
a few classes along the lines and shut your life off to the rest of the
world - to see what is REALLY going on. Used to be, kids in my school days
duked it out, got over it. Today, they take bombs, guns and so on - to blow
half their class mates away. I know "Preacher's" kids who were raised in a
loving home - end up in jail. Strict Christian/Catholic kids going to
school - needing corrected for getting into trouble. THERE IS A SERIOUS
PROBLEM HERE! IT ISN'T ALL "JUST" THE PARENTS. It is sex, drugs, etc. THIS -
THE COMPUTER - is a large part of the problem, what with cook books for
bombs available online and so on. Information which they'd never had before.
Sexual exploitation also. Parenting is a key, but it isn't the only key.
There is more to this than meets the eye.

You seriously need to open your eyes and mind up a lot more to see the
"reality" of this world. You're living in a clouded world. You claim to have
written chunks of books on the subject. CHUNKS? So you're not even a true
author in the sense of a complete book works? Your works are buried in with
someone else's? Tell us, was it points you've made being dispelled by those
truly in the know? Using your uh hem - examples of life according to you as
an example of what not to believe? Tell us, which books did you "help"
produce, so we may check the books to see if the credits list your name.
They DO list your name, right? IF SO, let us see. IF you're the professional
you claim to be and did do the writing, you should be proud to have us know
about it. So, lets have it... Give us some book titles we can check out.
Show us your credentials. You're not ashamed of them are you? You shouldn't
be. Instead of cutting down on those you know nothing of, try defending your
own words for a change. DO as the saying goes. PUT UP OR SHUT UP. YOU are
the one claiming to have written on the subject and know it all. SO SHOW US.
PROVE IT. You CAN do it, right? Instead of condemning others here of being
abusive parents - people you know nothing about, show us what gives you your
right to claim your superiority. The way you talk, you are probably the
founder of the "KIDS, REPORT YOUR PARENTS FOR CHILD ABUSE - IF THEY DON'T
GIVE YOU YOUR WAY" routine.

It is time for the parents to reclaim the home and the rule IN that home. As
long as that parent is paying the bills to keep that child clothed, fed,
medically cared for, that PARENT should be the one in charge. THEY should
have the final say - NOT THE KID. A child is too young to make informed
decisions.
