As a retired Vermont State Police detective sergeant who investigated hundreds of child abuse complaints, I could not agree more with young Mr. Fraser. Parenting is probably the single most important job we are given. God has given us the ability, and responsibility to procreate and populate the earth. If we are not properly educated and prepared for this undertaking we will populate the earth with offspring who are less prepared for this job than we were.
Secondly, we are required by the State to be licensed to drive a vehicle, hunt and fish. Are these more important than raising a child? I think not.
