Parents Choice
My son attends a school for children with disabilities that is included in the grid for the NATO summit, the school sent out a notice last week giving us options for school attendance. I have decided to keep my son out of school on Friday and Monday. I am working on my "gut" feeling and as a parent I want to protect my son. I am all for the cause, the leaders know we are dis satisfied about jobs cut and foreclosures but you have some protesters that truly are game for violence and destruction, the web is blowing up with threats of violence.

Can better parenting make Englewood safer for kids?
Ran across this story on line. But it is a question for not only Englewood but most of our communities. Like I previously stated on last week, we have kids on our block that are under 5 yo playing up and down the street without supervision.
Some years back I recall DCFS stepping into families telling the parents that they were not permitted to phyically discipline (some kids need it) their children...
Can better parenting make Englewood safer for kids?
Ran across this story on line. But it is a question for not only Englewood but most of our communities. Like I previously stated on last week, we have kids on our block that are under 5 yo playing up and down the street without supervision.
Some years back I recall DCFS stepping into families telling the parents that they were not permitted to phyically discipline (some kids need it) their children and in a few instances parents were arrested for doing so, also parents were told they could not invade a childs privacy (their bedroom in your house).
Parental guidance is a must for all children, there are parents/guardians in some cases that refuse to see the wrong and turn a biind eye to the kids hanging out. "my son is a good boy, he goes to school everyday", but is he a student at the school is actually attending classes or is he just hanging out.
Last summer when we had a incident in my community that resulted in a shooting death, one parent said "my son is going away to college, so you all can stop blaming my house for alot of the crime around here".
Now don't get me wrong I was so happy to hear that he was going off to school if he had needed a ride I would have taken him there myself, but unless the son is an Einstein, completed a 4yr university in 4 months he is still hanging out, business as usual.
What type of parent are you when you socialize and hang out in the club with your children and their friends?
I don't do "it takes a village to raise a child". I am not the parent to your kids you had them you raise them, I don't need the village because there may be a child molester in the village.
"I want to be friends with my kids", NO, I am the parent keep it real we will not party and hangout together, I think respect is lost when you remove the parent bar and lower it to the friend bar.

I think that many of the parents are less than 20 years older than their children, meaning that it is a level of maturity that has not been reached yet...
Personally, DCFS guidelines about children privacy and whatnot is just plain hooey! My child is 18, not allowed to close her room door unless she is changing her clothes! I randomly inspect her room, phone and etc. HOW ELSE WILL YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON! -
