  11. Some members of this forum have indicated that only heterosexual married
  12. couples are capable of raising children the way they "should be raised".
  13. How do you reconcile this  view to the Chicago couple charged with
  14. child abandonment for leaving their 4 year old and 9 year old daughters
  15. home alone over christmas while they vacationed in Mexico? By all
  16. appearances, they lived in a very respectable neighborhood and would
  17. certainly be labled middle class. Just another myth about child abuse
  18. shot down by reality.
