You know, even if the government wasn't involved in this, I would shun this guy for insanely poor judgment. He gives a bad name to all Christians when he tries to hid behind a bible as a shield to his poor actions.
I live across from a homeschooling family of 8. The 8-year-old boy is on the roof helping Dad, the little ones down below. Older kids on roof, too. Nothing bad has ever happened to them, but they do seem to take huge risks.
