<BR>Do you mean to suggest that parents should in no way be considered reflected in their children? Do you really think that kids just make up their own minds and grow up however they are going to, and the good or bad example or influence parents might have on their children should not be considered when children exhibit problems?
<BR>
<BR>This appears to be your position, an attitude I doubt most people or most social scientists or psychologists would find very tenable.
<BR>
<BR>So the abuse of a child raised in a home with hatred really is not a factor if the child exhibits problems? The parents are off the hook? And W. Bush also?
<BR>
<BR>Wow, this is great, parents everywhere can heave a sigh of relief! Their behavior has nothing to do with how their children turn out. Kids just make up their own minds about how they are going to live. And it's just an amazing coincidence that 90%+ children in the USA decide to become Christians, and 90%+ in Iran decide to become Muslims, given that they are free willed beings who are not controlled by their families.
<BR>
<BR>Right!
