Part Eight: THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT CHILD REARING - What's the solution for youths who live on the street? ''Hey, let's pop that old broad, cop the bread and blow some smoke. Yeah man, let's do it!" Did you understand what you just read? Or should we interpret it for you? "Let's rob the old lady, take her money and buy some marijuana." Tragically, dialogue like this and the criminal aftermath occur thousands of times each day in teeming urban areas, especially in the United States. Even more tragic is that most of these crimes are committed by "children" from 8 to 18. No wonder Isaiah prophesied what he did about our day: "Children are their oppressors" (Isa. 3:12, Revised Authorized Version throughout). Misguided children are turning our inner cities into war zones of crime and gang violence. But this installment is not about child crime, it's about how to rear crimeless children- children who will not become statistics in prisons or morgues. Straight children can be reared in a crooked environment! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
