My children’s rights while in my home are strictly limited.

I (as father) do not enter my girl’s rooms while they are in an immodest state, but my wife will not be afraid to enter. Mom and I are of the same mind.

My children may not consider any telephone call private. We parents decide the extent of the use of cell phones, and have the prerogative at any moment to examine the SMS content. At any time we might suspect any problem, we may call for the surrender of cell phones, and that without any explanation being necessary. Actually, our children currently only have cell phones in their possession when we are on an outing and they are not within eye-shot.

Our children may not have email accounts without our knowing their user name(s) and password(s).

We homeschool our children, and we determine the outings. We instruct our children meticulously with regard to the character of any friendships they make.

Our children do not date. My 30-year-old son married at age 21 and was never alone with a girl until his wedding night. Our second daughter was married last November, also at age 21, and never dated. Courtship outings were strictly chaperoned.

Privacy in our home takes second place to the combined characteristics of purity, safety, morality and spirituality.

LOL. As if.

That's really cute, the way your kids have you totally fooled. I hope.

You describe raising your kids in an extremely controlled and sheltered environment. I don't have a problem with that and you probably raised good kids. You are probably a good and honorable person.

The problem comes when the Parents aren't good and honorable people or disagree with State policies. Does the State have the right to interfere if the Father is raping the daughter? Does the State have a right to interfere if the children aren't being fed properly? Does the State have the right to interfere if the children aren't getting proper medical attention? Does the State have the right to interfere if the Children aren't getting a proper education? Does the State have a right to interfere if the Children object to how they are being raised? Does the State have a right to interfere if the Child wants an abortion?
