lburns70 I think the age shouldn't matter but I do think that they need to take in consideration the fact that they wont live forever. If they are to raise this boy than they need to plan for his future. I thought that the system always wanted to place children with...

lburns70 I would report them. You are right, the kids will go to school one day and report it. And by then they might already be doing it. It is not right for those parents to do something like that in front of the kids. Its sad that the world is like this.

lburns70 I dont know much about Buddhism so I would recommend researching it online. I am sure that thereis a wealth of knowledge somewhere out in cyberspace about the subject. And asking here on Mylot you might find others that support the religion. Good luck!
