Society is degrading right before our eyes and I believe that it has all started in corrupted homes. Many fathers and mothers are failing in raising their children properly. Meaning: Good values, good morals, good anything is becoming obsolete. Kids are dropping out of schools like flies dropping to the floor after a fogging. Except the poison here for us is lack of responsibility in teaching our kids what's right, what's wrong, and what's proper. Our children are turning into criminals of all types at rapid rates: thugs, thieves, rapists, etc. have always been around but are becoming more evident on both west side and east side of the tracks. Even in the workplace our young white collar & blue collar workers are committing fraud, embezzlement, cheating the system. Morality has dipped way below the redline. Adultery, pornography, disrespect of both men and women's personal boundaries are hammering filth and perverseness into our society.
The solution -- Take responsibility for ourselves and our children. Learn about truths, wisdom, and morality. Feel the warming, comforting feeling of choosing the right, doing something good on a daily basis as a habit, and of course do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Teach your children the same. Don't be a hippocrat. Teach by living as an example and giving your children direction and understanding, not dictatorship and control. The schools are not going to do it for you. The government is not going to do it for you, even church alone is not going to do it. It starts with you, the parent, the responsible one.
Tom Perry said, "Teaching in the home is becoming increasingly important in today’s world, where the influence of the adversary is so widespread and he is attacking, attempting to erode and destroy the very foundation of our society, even the family. Parents must resolve that teaching in the home is a most sacred and important responsibility.

Parents must resolve that teaching in the home is a most sacred and important responsibility.
They know that the influence of righteous, conscientious, persistent, daily parenting is among the most powerful and sustaining forces for good in the world. The health of any society, the happiness of its people, their prosperity, and their peace all find common roots in the teaching of children in the home.
According to the great plan of happiness, it is parents who are entrusted with the care and development of our Heavenly Father’s children.
The inspired document “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” states: “Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. ‘Children are an heritage of the Lord’ (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live."
