I think I will. While telling them how we got to this place. Explain that they must question everything and think for themselves. Tell them that freedom is never free.

The point is… Is that children have been watching people dying live stream, on the Internet, for the last two years. It’s happening already. At least if it was due to a punishment instead of a senseless killing, it may make more sense to a child. Kids need to know that there are consequences to your actions. The problem is people don’t have consequences anymore because they’re all some type of protected class. Kids definitely need to learn that if somebody murder somebody, and they get the death penalty, that’s OK. That’s the consequences to a persons actions. I’m pretty sure most of the kids in America currently have seen at least one person die live on TV, on a lifestream, on the news, etc. I don’t have kids at this point in time mine are full grown. I would really have to think about it. But I would rather have them see something like that with me explaining what is occurring, and have them see a senseless killing on the news and not understand it at all.
Well you gotta point. If my daughter was younger, I am sure I would feel that way too.
