A judge, when sentencing a man for robbery, asked if he had anything to say. The man replied, “Yes, your honor. Please sentence my parents to jail also.” The judge asked, “Why?” The prisoner answered, “When I was a little boy, I stole a pencil from school. My parents knew about it but never said a word. Then I stole a pen. They knowingly ignored it. I continued to steal many other things from the school and the neighborhood till it became an obsession. They knew about it, yet they never said a word. If anyone belongs in jail with me, they do.” He is right. In not discharging their responsibilities, his parents are also to blame although it does not absolve him of his responsibility. Giving choices to children is important, but choices without direction result in disaster. Sometimes parents ignore our mistakes and we start going in wrong direction. As a result we lose our focus and start indulging in wrong activities. Parents have to guide their children in the right path so that they don’t make mistakes in future. Parents have to impart good things to their child not bad things. Guide the children in right way as parents are the only guide of them. If they do wrong things, make them realize their mistakes so that they do not become a disaster one day.
