The allegations also involve manipulation and the violation of the rights of minor children - something that we, as a society, can't condone or allow. It also points to the need for some soul-searching by adults, but particularly parents. And, while it was not the case in the allegations against Chmura, it is not uncommon for high school students to rent rooms for the night at the hotel where a prom is taking place. Parents need to ask themselves if they should allow that. One rule of sound moral theology is to avoid the near occasions of sin.
Parents have a responsibility to help their children do that - and to do that themselves.
Most of all, we must not force our children into making adult decisions - especially when we refuse to make them ourselves.
