Is teaching children right and wrong really that difficult?

 Homestead students charged with sexual assault of child

I sure do hope parents (including those of the college students) are taking the time to talk about why sexual assault and abuse are wrong, and how supporting the perpetrators (and those who protect them)  only further hurts the victims.  I feel it may stem from the ever-growing attitude of, "It's none of my business" and "it doesn't affect me, so it's not of my concern." Well maybe the nosey-neighbor syndrome is not always a bad thing. And maybe the small-town mentality of being in everyone's biznass is a good safe-guard to be aware that you're being watched.  

Hopefully we as a people can remember to live by the golden rule. And then look at our actions and make sure that the things we say/do are things we hope others would say/do to us. Really.
