” leave them with others for up to 8 hours of the day.”
and you wonder WHY places are banning children but not dogs? They take their dog to obedience school but their kid? Their kid is a little hellion at the wal-mart or restaurant. Running and screaming up and down the isle, opening up toys out of the boxes and playing with them, throwing food all over the place. The dog however, it does one thing bad and it gets called down. The child is ignored by the parent.
“The child is ignored by the parent.”

I believe there are three types of parents:
1. Parents who are okay with being parents and not friends to their offspring. These parents are often the ones TARGETED by government groups because they do not like the standards the parents have set for their children.
2. Parents who are hooked on drugs or other forms of illicit behavior that precludes loving instruction and caring of their children. These are probably the number TWO risks to their children.
3. Parents who willingly abuse their children via sexual abuse or other forms of physical or psychological (sp?) abuse. These are probably the number ONE risks to children.
I wish could be swayed from my beliefs on this issue.
Life has shown me too many times that this is the current way of the Western World.
