But the discussion is not really about "them" (the children) getting it--it's about their PARENTS 'getting it.'
Having said that, I think your suggestion has a good deal of merit--but evidently was not feasible for the parish in question, for whatever reason.
Again, bear in mind that the priest most likely did NOT divulge all the information he has on the families to the newspaper...
LOL! I hope you posted this to everyone else posting on this thread (including yourself!)
I can't be the only one on this thread who doesn't know the whole story! ;-)
