61. All of our children know how to swim and if they are too young to swim....
they are not allowed to play in houses with pools unless one of us is with them. We are not paranoid. We actually care enough about our children to take the time and effort to protect them.
My best friend's son accidentally shot and killed his classmate on Christmas day ten years ago. His "not paranoid" father had given it to him as a birthday present a few weeks before. When we heard about the gun we decide not to visit Angelica that holiday season. Her son was up in his bedroom showing his friend his fantastic present when he killed a boy who was the light of his family's life. I have written about the incident before. Both of these families were destroyed and are still suffering and will for the rest of their lives.
You keep believing you are so smart and so right. That's your risk to take. Better your family than mine.
Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.... Martin Luther King Jr.
