Parents, please stop this.<\/p>\n<p>I also see children on the streets at times soliciting money for churches. This is how children become victims of abuse.\u00a0 Now what if I was a child predator, etc? Two little girls come walking right up to my door with not an adult within striking distance had I grabbed either of them into my house. Churches meantime that know of and\/or encourage this type of thing ought to be ashamed of themselves and should admonish the parents in their congregations to stop this irresponsible and dangerous behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Parents and adults: please stop putting children up to approaching strangers and asking them for money \u2013 you are making them open targets for predators and others.\u00a0 Get your minds right and be the protectors rather than the pimps of your children and those of others.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon Turner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parents and adults: please stop putting children up to approaching strangers and asking them for money \u2013 you are making them open targets for predators and others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[133,1465,163,51],"class_list":["post-37691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinions","tag-community","tag-parents","tag-society","tag-youth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/67"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37691\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
