If the parents are raising their children with decent values, nothing Mike Vick, Paris Hilton, or any other person can do will alter those values. | I do agree that a parent needs to be a role model for kids.
Isn't it sad, though, that in some ghettos of cities, the parents do drugs, and what can the kids do while their parents are addicted? They probably become wards of the state. That's what's happening today. In my generation, my parents were great.  Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105 |
