I'm not saying to name names or spread gossip, but as far as I know, no one knows who this person who wrote "Dear Abby" Is. To talk about it in the abstract is not harmful, it is making people more aware of the dangers our children face every where.

We should be vigilent with the safety of our children no matter who they are with or where they are at.

But I do understand your distress, it is an ugly, ugly topic.

I understand what you are saying, but really has society got any better since it has become a common thing to open everything up for everyone hear.....I don't think so, it still waxes worse and worse. Just when we think we hear about the most horrible thing that could happen something else takes its place. We can learn to teach our children without broadcasting to everyone about it. The more stuff like this is talked about the less it disturbs us and the more normal things become that used to really distress us. We are being destroyed by our craving for information. We are bombarded with stuff 24/7 and we still want more. Yet we still seek to be in the know even to our own detriment. I am talking about myself as well.

Take a situation that is relevant this week. How much more tolerable has Lanny Wolfe become in some ranks. Years ago, you would have never heard of him singing on anyone's platform. Now, he is promoted as if nothing ever happened. Do I believe in forgivenss, yes! God is the only one who can forget so let's not kid ourselves. If he was truly repentant he would be satisfied to be a church janitor intead of wanting to be in the limelight again. But, my point is, do you see how tolerable we have become? Sickening!
