Problem youths

[Micheal Westin]

I would say hold the parents responsible for restitution of damages their children do up until they are 18, then it should fall to the young adult to pay his or her own way out of their own problems

maybe if parents were hit with heavier fines, they would take more interest in raising children that are not so destructive

If the parents are not engaged in their children's lives it could be lack of love... if so causing problems with their finances could threaten the child's safety or further the gap!

thomas, I think she's described it pretty well. She has a boy who likes to get into trouble and literally has mental problems. If you meet someone with say, a brain injury, you might realize that shortly after meeting them. I don't think that would go away just because she brushed it off or pretended like he was perfect. Given the context of the thread I don't think it's necessary for her to add in a bunch of positive descriptors of her son as well, after all, the thread is about youths who get into trouble and have other issues, explicitly.

 

 

I see nothing inappropriate in the way she described the situation and I really do not think you should be accusing her of impropriety.

 

 

Good day Alpha,

I like to look at the person behind the label and I respectfully stay with my opinion, thank you.

Have a good day,

Thomas

God did not punish Eli for the sins of his children, the consequences Eli suffered were the result of his own sins

 

Brother Paul this is interesting.

 

1Sa 2:29-31  Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?  (30)  Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.  (31)  Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

 

It seems that God punished Eli ( and all his decedents ) for allowing his sons immorality to reach the point it had.  Is this the sin of Eli you suggest ?
