[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am hearing of an uptick in this sort of thing. I think the best thing one can do is to actually be present in their kids lives. We live ina society where both parents are just too busy. I think it is better if one parent stays home when the kids are teens. This is the most crucial time. [b]Working when the kids are little is fine if you have good help.[/b] They need you so much more as teens. If someone cannot be home then drive them to school and know all their friends and keep tabs on what they are doing. Be interested in their lives.[/quote]

FWIW the multiple families that I know at our "big 3" with kids who have issues like this *all* have SAHMs. The families are nice, and it wasn't an issue of not having a parent around. Having a career does not preclude a parent from having a good relationship with a child. The parents who keep tabs on their kids are the ones who simply aren't naive about their own kids.[/quote]

What about church and a strong religious background? Op, in all of the upper middle class families I know who have been affected by this (several, including 2 deaths) , that is a component of family life that was missing. [/quote]

Nope, church doesn't seem to insulate the kids from harm. Two of the families are regular Catholic church-goes. One of the boys was an acolyte. [/quote]
