Frankly, I have a much bigger problem with the boy's parents than I do with the boy himself. A 7-year-old does not come up with tracts and concepts of lesbianism on his own. It's fairly obvious that the parents are teaching him to be a hateful little bully towards those who are "different" or won't accept their specific "word of God." Hopefully, the Department of Social Services will investigate this family. Also, a stiff civil suit may just wake them up to the fact that they can't teach their children to assault those with who disagree with them.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's illegal to teach your child hate,,,,,,,,I don't know how much power the DSS or DCF (in some states) HAS when it comes to the religious education of children,,,,,the sad fact is we HAVE the right to teach our children God hates gays,,,,,,,,,and all lesbians go to hell,,,,,,,and all non-Christians are evil people,,,,I think you'd have to prove that they TAUGHT their child to attack other children,,,and that's mighty difficult to do,,,,,sad,,,,,but true. THIS is what I hate about Fundamentalism,,,,,when it goes too far, it's bad,,,,,,really really bad,,,,,and it creates an atmosphere where 7 year olds feel justified in breaking the jaws of 6 year olds,,,,,,Holly
