This child was used by his parents to make a political point and I have a problem with that. And how precisely are you aware of that "fact"?
It is a conclusion I have come to based on the comments of the child, the father, and what I know about 10-year-olds. This boy would not have been able to do what he did independently of his parents.
If you think my above statement is incorrect, what do you believe was going on? Do you really believe that the child's actions were completely independent? If you do, do you believe that this child would have been allowed to protest for a cause that his parents didn't belive in?
The child had good values. He didn't commit a mortal sin in what he did or commit a crime. Its telling he's the one in the dock while those who watched Terri Schiavo die go free. Tell me, where's the justice in that?
