There was a guy in my jr high class whose mother died. His father lived in another state but they guy (I think he was 14) lived by himself until he graduated from high school. He had his father’s credit card to pay for food and stuff and the father took care of all the bills. The guy joined the military upon graduation and is doing well. I can’t see that happening at ALL in today’s world without someone being thrown in jail and the child being put in the foster care system. Plus, today’s kids are broken and couldn’t even begin to either fight for our country or figure out how to take care of themselves.
Today’s kids would be susceptible to the left wing perverts out there.
