I’ll probably catch hell for this but perhaps the parents need to reorder their priorities with regard to caring for their son.
People are far too willing to leave their kids with strangers. Background check or not.
I agree with you. It sounds like the dog was the only one with straight priorities.
I have never understood why people have kids .... and then give them to someone else to raise. My brother and his wife, when they had kids, went through financial hardship so she could stay home with them. His comment to me was: I married my wife because I love HER, her personality, her values, her faith ... everything about HER. I want my kids to be like HER, not some strange woman (babysitter, etc.) I don’t know. All 4 kids turned out to be wonderful young adults .... and very much like their mom.
