Here's a frightening example of what kind of people are watching our kids today. Last year, Kiddie Academy, a national child care chain, showed interest in buying my wife's facility. We had dinner with their local rep, brought our daughter to the meetings (10 years old) to introduce her to "business". They contacted the landlord, stole the lease and then called offering to buy the equipment at scrap prices. They expected to just move in and take the clientele. Tuition was approaching $40,000 per month. We moved, clients went elsewhere, they got the site but no clients.....big loss to us....big loss to them and big loss to landlord since I drew out the moving process till the courts demanded we vacate...... And now the law suites begin......we will win. These are the people molding the minds of pre-schoolers. When it hits the papers, I'll scan the info and let you read it. Shootie

Nite-Man, It seems that parents, for a couple of decades, have never realized that maintaining the discipline of their children is an important part of love for the child. If not disciplined, a colt becomes a wild mustang that is capable of doing anything, because of the lack of knowledge of what the right thing to do is. Today, if a parent lays the palm of a hand on the gluteous maximus of his son, or daughter, social services come climbing all over his butt for child abuse. Abuse, I am totally against but, firm discipline, I am totally for. ~H~
