This man's story in this article is the reason why I don't believe we should shelter our children from reality. They won't be prepared when reality bites. It's hard out there, kids gotta know this too, they have to be prepared for the idiots they'll come across in life. I think that it's very important to instill values, and prepare the world for your good little citizen and all, but we as parents must prepare them for this cold cruel world just the same. What happened to this little boy is mean and unfair, BUT, if he was prepared for possibilities such as this one, then he wouldn't have taken it as hard. I know it was very hurtful for his father, because he was helpless. Go in the hood and call a child a n***er, and just sit back and watch the show, those kids stay prepared, not all, but a good percent ain't gonna take that. Can't shelter the kids, not these days, it's too dangerous.
Anyhow, good article, a lil lengthy but try to check it out guys.
