Lest I give y'all the (correct) impression that I'm just an annoying self-centered boor, while I'm whining about by commute being held up a little, Debra Hyde is wondering about a boy who's run away. One of my ongoing ethical quests is about children (despite my calls for legal abortion through the 55th trimester), how they're not really adults and we can't treat them as such, and yet they're not property, and we can't just allow parents to treat them as they will. So what are our collective responsibilities to their parents when we disagree with how they're being raised?
