"I don't believe a 10-year-old is capable of making these types of decisions and implementing them completely on his own."

How many 10 yr olds do you know? My 7 yr old has an amazing vocabulary and an amazing compassion and need to see right done. She's much more of a go-getter than I am.
She would definitely have marched over there to give Terri a drink.. she listens to the news, she has her own ideas independent of me.. all I've done is give her the basic Christian values, where she takes them is up to her.
In some ways she's a better Christian than I am sometimes..

I could see my daughter doing it also.

However, some people on this thread possibly have pretty nasty children who are headed for serious trouble - and they are bitter and resentful. Or they themselves are miserable people lacking compassion.

Would you have driven your 7-year-old 600 miles to the hospital knowing that she would be arrested if she trespassed on hospital grounds?
