Whether it be government seeking to expand power and minimize those individuals with above average intelligence or creative drive, or big businesses and lending institutions exercising unjust principles to add unreasonable fees on "consumers," we are a culture where the rules of propaganda an corruption rule the day, hence, a bully based society.
Not only do children get negative messages from society in general, more specifically we are becoming a society that ostensibly errs on the side of children under the catch phrase "Do It For the Children." Parents not only have to live in fear of child designed propaganda from mediums designed for kids, they also have to worried about over zealous social workers finding any excuse to take their children away, whether or not they have done something that qualifies as abuse.
Parents may find their only choice is to educate their children about the potential pirfalls of foster care and the so-called child protective services agencies. As society becomes more accepting of the notion that the state is more qualified to raise children than their own parents, parental rights to their own children seem more and more to be disappearing. There are steps beyond the propagandist's agendas to pressure parents to "adapt" to modern society. On example where parents feel pressured is by tolerating their children watching trashy movies to innoculate for "the real world." Parents should instead be focusing on giving their children "real world" information that is actually useful.
One father I interviewed told me he noticed his son's teenage friends were increasingly calling the social service agency to get back at their parents for minor issues such as not allowing them to stay out late. He said he simply had "the talk" with his son, that "if you were to ever call them and have them take you away from me, you will be stuck with whatever happens from that point on, because I will NOT make an effort to fight to get you back." It is a sad commentary on our society that such a strategy is the parents best defense, but only by alerting children to the evil designs of government authority gone awry can we best give them the normal chance to grow to adulthood.
Because there are in fact real cases of tragic abuse to children by their parents, all of society is paying the price of being under the cloud of suspicion, in spite of various factors contributing to what is and is not considered to be good parenting.
Even certain law enforcement authorities operate on the premise that minor injuries to children may be the result of parental violence before considering the possibility it was a simple accident. On more than one occasion I have witnessed general groups of children in public schools being solicited to turn their parents in for alleged child abuse, even if it only involves the tone of voice or facial expression of parents.
School personnel in many public schools are now being threatened that they will be held legally liable for any suspicion of possible child abuse which they do not report to authorities. Rather than leading to a decrease in actual child abuse, this is causing a clouded perception upon the very perception of what child abuse is.
There are countless horror stories across the nation of children being torn from loving and stable non-abusive homes and placed in abusive foster care situations, based on an unproven allegation of abuse. It is for this reason that parents should not hold back in teaching their children about the full range of propagandist forces designed to break up families and the threats from state agencies to remove children from even non-abusive situations into possibly dangerous or abusive foster care situations.
Children have a keen sense of fairness and justice at a very young age. It is imperative that parents teach their children critical thinking skills on what is and is not child abuse, to not fall into the trap at the first sign of discord to falsely allege child abuse against their family. be able to discern the threats government agencies can pose to normal and stable families.
If your children are age 8 or younger they probably already think you and your teachers are perfect, so you may not think you need this, but it is to you whom I am exactly referring to. We need to head off teenage rebellion, eliminate the causes and solidify the unity between you and your child.
