I babysat one of these young men many years ago. It is safe to say he had a very hard home life. Parents we have got to take responsibility for our children by teaching them Godly principals. Our children need us to put our foot down. They need structure. Unfortunately this is what happens when mom and dad have no structure or character whilst raising young children. Their innocence is lost.
