There are no 'bad' children I faithfully read Herb Benham's column and for the most part enjoy what he has to say. Most news is bad news because most children are bad children. I take exception to his statement that most children are bad children. There are no bad children in this world. Perhaps there are bad parents, but not bad children.
Children are a result of how they are treated at home by their parents.
A child is either loved and well-disciplined, or they are unloved and undisciplined. How they are raised is up to their parents. When children reach adulthood, they have a choice of whether to continue in the ways they were taught by their parents, either loved and disciplined, or unloved and undisciplined. The choice and responsibility is theirs. While I share her sadness, I offer a hopeful alternative.
