I couldn't agree more. I never did that and of course, my dau cried foul. Even today when she is in college, though living at home, I have her call to let us know she gets places. She accuses me of tracking her, but I don't. I've told her I want her to build habits that will then carry over with her husband someday (I hope) and with her own children who will be growing up in yet a more dangerous world.
Frontline carried a program earlier in the week on trafficking young women in Eastern Europe. It was horrifying.
Saw the same program. Horrifying is the right word, along with heartbreaking. The husband looking for his kidnapped wife in Turkey? Damn.
As a father of two small girls and a husband, these types of reports fill me with fear.
May God protect us from these demons.
