Mark, how do irresponsible people teach their children to be responsible? I really agree that being a parent needs to be a privilege not a right. Mason says people should have to qualify to be a parent. I agree. I know how many lazy ass people and sadly they are parents. I work with a lady who had he two children removed last week because they were wandering down the street in the early morning hours. She was out with friends, leaving her kids home alone. She left when they went to sleep. Well, they woke up and she wasn’t there. This is two kids with two different fathers ages 5 and 2. What kind of sorry ass woman does that? I really seriously irresponsible one. I feel so sorry for her kids. She’s upset I guess but all she does is make excuses for why she’s being treated so harshly. She honestly can’t see how leaving her small children alone to go meet up with her next baby’s daddy, was wrong. And no she is not Black, she is White. This article drove her problem home for me. She has no idea how deep and significant responsibility really is, I had the opportunity to tell her and she really looked lost. I just shook my head and walked away. If people choose not to live responsibly, they will be held accountable and she might not get her kids back. It’s the second time this has happened.
