The Journey of Abuse
Teach Your Children Well
Johnny B was 10 years old and part of what seemed like a stable family environment. Then, on June 3 1952 something happened that would change his innocent life from probable success to assured failure.

That night, Johnny’s father was arrested with a prostitute and his mother kicked her husband out.

For the next two years his mother took out her rage on Johnny, beating him daily and warning him to not be like his father. Every day she would tell him how prostitutes were a curse to mankind and the destroyer of homes.
This turned him into an antisocial introvert with no friends and failing grades by the time he was 13.

By the time he was 18 he had been in and out of juvenile hall and jail 8 times. He could only get menial jobs and relationships were out altogether.

When Johnny was 23 he killed his first prostitute. In the next 11 years there would be 17 more before he was finally caught.

This is no fiction story. It is absolutely real. People are not born bad. They are made bad by other people, and in this case, Johnny’s own mother turned him into a killer. His life was driven by an obsession of anger, which he had no control over.

Please try to understand this and be forgiving instead of condemning.

If you have small children, you need to understand that for your child, you are the creator, and your job doesn’t end till that child leaves the nest (home). You can create a masterpiece or a disaster. There are many kinds of abuse and all are harmful. Even neglect will cause future problems.

If there is a bad generation of children it’s because there is a bad generation of parents. If you ever tell your child he or she is a bad child, you need to go look in a mirror and ask yourself where you went wrong.

Parents, I’m putting it all on you because you are the sculptors and your children are precious balls of clay. It is up to you to raise up a generation of Children of God. Children will carry whatever you give them, and if you gave them anger and pain, that is what you are forcing them to carry all their lives. Teach them love. Teach them kindness and sharing thru example. Do your jobs as parents. Amen

Why put anything on anyone else other than self?

Peace.
Because when a child is growing up, that child is absorbing everything and is easily programmable. Parents have certain responsibilities, which include to nurture their children in a loving environment. There is probably only 1 out of 20 parents today, doing that. When a child is born, that isn't the end of the creation process for that child.

I think your still off track.

I'm taken back by your judgement of parents and blaming bad parents for bad kids.

Did you ever consider an orphan whose parents died from an accident, or those raising children in a harsh environment not because of their choice?

If your going to talk a lot you better do a ton of thinking prior.

Are you forgetting you have brothers and sisters who only recognize their Heavenly Mother and Father as their only parents?

Talk to us as siblings, because that's what we are.

The creation process is happening with all of us as we are all children of God.

I have a responsibility as a child,
remember that.
:)

Peace.

I watched Couples who kill, and the episode today was about the Arizona Temple masacre. Both defendants had difficult childhoods, but More so, was Jonathan Doody. He was born in Thailand, His dad died, his mother moved to germany, where she met Brian Doody, and he was a bully and a half. the drunk chatised jonathan because of his lack of English, and he was bullied when he entered education..

Makes you wonder if the judge should have told the parents that ultimately, it was their fault for bringing their children up in a bad way..

In regards to what has just been said, I agree with the orphan situation, because things are beyond their control.

Every child needs a loving home. Besides, they are the next generation!

"If the shoe fits....." I'm putting myself in the same place. When I married at 19, I didn't know how to be a parent. I was not a bad parent, but I wasn't a good parent either. I neglected my family for my own purpose. Not good, and I blame myself. With age comes wisdom. I wish I could go back and do it again differently - but I can't, so I want to make all young parents aware of what great responsibility they have.
