THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD

Empowering: An Escape from Responsibility (continued)

By Carrie K. Hutchens

As parents are having their rights of choice readily stripped from them, pro-choice organizations such as Planned Parenthood have been gaining ground. Not only do they provide birth control prior to conception, but thereafter. They managed to get abortion without parental knowledge and/or consent through in places. How did that ever happen? And who is responsible for the consequences that follow? It certainly isn't them. Not yet anyways!

Laws may vary from state to state as for age and specifics, but all agree that children (as defined by their law) cannot not legally consent to sexual encounters. These children can't legally decide to have a sexual encounter, but they suddenly have the maturity to decide to abort a baby? Okay!?! I suppose this is rational to some.

When parents are excluded from knowing what is transpiring, just who decides if the girl is emotionally able to handle the decision to abort? What if they are wrong? Who pays the price?

If a girl commits suicide because she is guilt ridden, does Planned Parenthood and all concerned have to pay a settlement for wrongful death?

If a girl can't handle what she has done and sets out on a path of pure destruction, does Planned Parenthood et al strive to pick up the pieces?

Why does Planned Parenthood et al have the authority to over-ride and exclude the parents in a life and death situation involving their child and grandchild, while then leaving the responsibility for the results in the laps of those very parents? Why isn't this considered a private family matter that they have no right getting involved in without the parents' request?

Interestingly, there was a fight in Kansas to keep records at abortion centers confidential. Confidential and therefore protecting those who had sexually abused young girls and then taken them for abortions to get rid of the proof. This thought is defended how?

Where is the protection of the child in any of this? What is it teaching the child?

It isn't just a matter of birth control and abortion. Disrespecting parents became acceptable in many quarters years ago and has rapidly spread into a vile plague that threatens to destroy and devour the very concept of a family unit.

There are schools that seem to feel they know what is best and have no (or little) concern for what the parents of these children think. How dare the parents challenge their wisdom and their advanced state-of-being in the scheme of all things.

Look at how many ways that people in authority tell children and teens that they don't have to listen to their parents. That if their parents dare try to correct them, someone will come to the rescue and the parents will be reprimanded. Worse -- it happens! What is wrong with this picture?

I have written about it before, but there was a case of a girl who lied to authorities out of spite (how dare anyone think they could correct her) and because she thought she could pick her foster parents. (She had her eye on some rich ones.) Though it was quickly proven the girl had lied, it didn't stop a social worker from making the parents sign a "no spank agreement", under threat of taking the children if they didn't, though no laws had been broken or abused. This all being carried out in the presence of the children and suggesting that the children did not have to fear nor listen to their parents. Simply an open invitation to do what they wanted without fear of consequences according to someone in authority who was saying their parents weren't in authority. Amazing that this is allowed to take place!

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks about spanking. A social worker should not be allowed to apply her/his "personal" convictions and bias to any person and/or situation while and within the performance of her duty when it is not supported by the laws of the state. And she/he definitely should not be saying or doing anything that suggests that children do not have to listen to their parents. Definitely should not be saying anything that suggests that if the parents attempt to correct the children that she/he shall be back to rescue them from the consequences of their actions. But that seems to be the mode the world is in now.

I find it quite interesting (in a frustrating way) how some are involved in both stripping parents of their parental rights to raise and make decisions for their children, while then trying to hold them accountable for whatever the children then do when all goes wrong. It must be the parents' fault. Certainly couldn't be the do-gooders' fault, even if he or she got involved without just cause, now could it? Do gooder's and Village Ruler Know-it-Alls, when it comes to giving kids free reign (and invite to freely express themselves), seem to have their own little special immunity packages that parents, and others, don't have.

As I said at the onset of this article... I was afraid that I might have to get involved in that young mother's effort to correct her child in public... in Wal-Mart... and for all to see. She certainly deserved the support.

This young mother tried all the little cutie things the Village Ruler Know-It-All's proclaim to work within the child raising world. They didn't work.

In frustration, she said something to the effect... "Your dad is right... you always do this at Wal-Mart when you think we can't get after you and make you mind because of something they said to you at school. Then, I guess we won't bring you to the store anymore. You can simply stay home."

Abrupt change in the child's behavior when he saw she wasn't giving in and no one around was supporting his negative behavior.

His response?

"I'm sorry, Mom!", as he began acting appropriately!

What a concept!
