Shaping little souls

This sad little news account reflects the on-going diminution of real parenting in this country. I agree with Mr. Tattrie's response, that ultimately the parents are responsible. The choice to bring a child into the world comes with vast consequences and responsibilities. One should weigh them carefully. Manners must be taught. The television should be banished in favor of books, art and outdoor experiences. We are shaping little souls, setting the groundwork for a lifetime. So many parents fund those college accounts but fail to realize the most important years are the early ones. There will always be contributing factors, but they should not cloud us from our ultimate responsibility..the hard work of shaping these little souls.
