Hi, Ed, I just read the story about the children doing all that destruction at the Monument Elementary school. What’s an 11-year-old doing out at 10:30 p.m.? What about the parents? No one seems to care. I think the parents should be punished along with the boy for letting him out unsupervised.

Parents are the number one reason our kids are the way they are today. Most parents are afraid to discipline their kids, first and foremost because parents don’t want their kids to feel like they’re friends. Parents need to parent, not be friendly. And I agree, parents of trouble kids should be punished, too.
