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..

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?

If she had wanted to badly enough, and I had the opportunity and finances to do so, sure I would.. I would be glad to be there myself if I could have. I think you're barking up the wrong tree here.. I don't feel that this child was coerced in any way.. if you'd read the story more completely you'd see that.. if your children choose not to be active in this way, that's your business, but I let my children know that many things are worth fighting for. I would be proud to be arrested for something like this, and if my child chose the same path, I would be very proud of her.
