Download or read book Guardians Without Wings written by Robert Fertig and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story about how the system of justice works to protect America's children, with the essential support of thousands of volunteers, Guardian ad Litem (GALs), also known as Court Appointed Special Advocates. We call them "Guardians without Wings." We have found the lack of proper education, the influence of secularism, and especially, poor moral upbringing, represent the fundamental causes of child abandonment, neglect and abuse. More than 75% of Americans claim to be Judeo-Christians at the beginning of this century. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights are based on Christian principles, yet many have discarded these values that are the foundation of our society. We believe that all children are born innocent and lovable! It is the parents, relatives, role models, peer group pressure, secular (and atheistic) teachers, and mainly the "culture of death", that have caused too many of these children to grow up to become dysfunctional adults, and in many cases, appalling parents. What do we mean by "culture of death" in western society? It is our growing divorce rates (over 52%); Abortion-On-Demand (50 million so far) and rise of Euthanasia; Unmarried Parents, who lack responsibility for their children; and the epidemic of illegal drug addiction problem. Some parents are clueless about the essentials of parenting. They are immature adults themselves. As one Judge said, "they are like rabbits that keep on reproducing." Should these "adults" have children, if they are morally, and psychologically unable to be loving, caring parents? You can't love, if you have not been loved as a child. The lack of spiritual formation (Jewish, Christian, among other faiths) was predominant in about 80-85% of our cases, and that represents one of the most important reasons for the breakdown of social order in our society. Conversely, we must be very careful to avoid extreme fundamentalists that will actually create further issues for our children. "If we have full employment and great economic growth ... but our children have not learned to walk in goodness, justice and mercy, then the American experiment ... will have failed." William Bennett

Even if affection, respect and cooperation seem to be replaced by contempt, rejection and recalcitrance, there is an explanation for these changes and they don't have to cause irreparable damage.

For parents supporting their children on one of the most important journeys they'll ever undertake - the journey from childhood to adulthood - it is essential reading.
