I would certainly hope that this young man got his values from his parents. That's usually the way it works. Where do you kids get their values? From the street? Or worse, from public schools?

Sure, I completely agree with you. My point is that these people who are claiming that this child making the decision to break the law here was an independent decision are wrong. This child was used by his parents to make a political point and I have a problem with that. Apparently, many people here don't. But would they be as respectful of a 10-year-old who acted on behalf of a cause they don't agree with? I doubt it.

And how precisely are you aware of that "fact"?

I don't think a lot of people give 10 year old's enough credit. Ten year olds are capable of watching the news and coming to the same decisions we are. He may have said, "I want to do this." and his parents said, "Okay."

His father has a habit of "using" minors for his own purposes. Nice that father and son now have criminal convictions in common.

...this child making the decision to break the law

What law did the child break? If you were to see a person in a burning building and rushed in to save that person over the owner's objection would you have broken a law? What do you think the purpose of law is in the first place? Which is lawful in this case; to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?

Cordially,

Political Point? I'm disgusted with your attitude. The prophet Isaiah noted there would be those who would come to see evil as good, darkness as light and salt as sweet. Its a sign of the times that those who believe in God and stand up for what is right are persecuted and the killers are lauded and treated as heroes. If I was arrested for giving food and water to a dying person I would wear my persecution as a badge of honor. God bless this little boy.
