	Molly  +  38139 Mon, 19 Jul 04 08:39 PM I don't think that divorced people are intentionaly deny their children love and affection. As a matter of fact, a lot of divorced people give their children a lot of love and affection. The question should be: "Should parents who deny love and affection to their children be held guilty?"

	lilbit  +  39288 Mon, 26 Jul 04 03:13 AM I believe parents who deny love and affection should be held quilty!! They are not just raising children, but raising adults. The old expression what comes around goes around. Well this is it. Whatever way you raise your kids is how they will treat you when you are older. I would hope that they do. It is sad to say so, but people should to be held responsible for their actions. I have always loved children. They really are our future. We will have to depend on what they do and hope they make the right choices. So anyone that is anyone, treat them with love and respect. Yours or not!!!! They are still the future for all of us. lilbit Joined on Tue, Jul 20 2004 USA Full Member 202

	Molly  +  39390 Mon, 26 Jul 04 06:48 PM I agree totaly with you Lilbit. Parents should treat childeren with the same respect as they should treat an adult. My mom always said that you can't whack love and respect into a child but you can whack contemptibleness into them. With other words, don't maltreat them, but try with talking and showing them love and respect to achieve what ever you want to achieve. Use the soft way, not the hard way. Molly

	lilbit  +  39446 Tue, 27 Jul 04 02:38 AM I'm with you Molly, I have children and some may say they are a little spoiled but, my oldest has showed me the greatest gift. Respect and love and he will always be there for me. I know the others will do the same when they get older. You really don't know how it will turn out until they get older. lilbit

	Molly  +  40305 Sun, 01 Aug 04 02:47 PM It's realy sad to know that there are country's were childabuse isn't that big issue. Those childeren will never know how to treet theire own childeren because there is childabuse all arround them. So you have that famous visual circle. But I think there is also another abuse. To give the child(ren) the material things they need, isn't enough. When parents deny childeren the love and attention they need, I think that's also an abuse. Childeren need love and attention. I see a lot of people, even in my own village, who send their childeren out on the streets because mom or dad won't them have them arround. They have to enjoy themselfs. That's why childeren vandalize. They are bored. In my opinion you can hold their parents also guilty. Molly
