And if the same scenario happened, and someone referred to Matthew where Jesus said "love thy neighbor..." who is getting pissed off now?

In both cases, the kid needs to go to their parents. I see the exceptions you point to and say, "if that's the case, there are far deeper and more problematic issues in the home."

I have, literally, watched this happen. I've seen a psychiatrist influence a kid and his parent (dad) said, "no more." I'm VERY biased here. Growing up in a single parent household will do that to people. I don't hang out with him anymore. And I considered him to be a good friend. Great friend, in fact. But, you don't do that.

This goes right back to the conversation we've been having: free will. If God gives you the choice of what you do, what ground do I have to stand on to criticize?

Well...we can start with "dont' kill people."
