It disturbs me that children are not given as many rights to protection as an adult. Okay, I understand a certain amount of immature behavior, pushing and shoving and playing a bit rough and such, but if an adult hit or verbally abused another adult there would be repercussions but children, who need to be protected from others as well as from their own misbehavior, are not protected by the adults. I grew up in a small town and if I had done anything wrong or someone had done wrong to me someone would have stepped up or by the time I got home my parents would have been called by one, or more, neighbors. We are afraid to get involved now because often the parents will get mad at us though.
Ang, I can imagine the thoughts going through your head. I have been there. I know. You are wise to take the time to think it through though.
Pooh, I emailed you. Let me know if you want me to contact my friend.

Ants, I once had three DAYS of hard labor but then I got a beautiful baby girl out of it.
