Hmmm. Maybe it is because as children we sin too, since we are born into sin. It would be hard, you guys are right, for a child to discern what is right in wrong if a parent is allowing their whim to be fulfilled.Wakka, for all we know, though, his parents could be quiet, non-threatening people who are just trying to make their son happy; though we know through God's teaching that this is not the right approach.I read that the school this boy goes to handed out pamphlets to other "concerned parents". The whole situation needs prayer and support. How far off people are from the word of God! It's so important for this little boy to be taught what is right because he needs to know his role as a man, the role that God gave him when he made him.
