> parents are responsible to God, not to society or educators, for the formation of their children's hearts and minds
Ummm... so... if parents raise their little darlings to be psycho killers, society has nothing to say to the parents?
If the children grow up into psycho killers THEY(children) are responsible to society.

Well, of course. However, if you mistreat, abuse, neglect, poorly educate, abandon, whatever a child such that this (say, crack-fueled gang thug) is the end result... do *you* not bear some responsibility in the matter?
