The whole idea is really scary as the belief is that these hearings are actually happening. As you mentioned Marjoe surely it will only be a matter of time before we hear about abuse scandals and monetary scandals. Its amazing what some parents will do to make money, is this not in essence child labor?Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243905647317437724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-21770434278639790932015-06-13T18:12:19.199-04:002015-06-13T18:12:19.199-04:00Agi Tater -- Those parents are doing their childre...Agi Tater -- Those parents are doing their children a serious disservice, exploiting them for money and fame, immersing them in superstitious nonsense (in Alani's case), and compromising their education (in Matheus' case).
