SARAH Emainu was a Novi and knew what Yishmoel would become. The problem today is that children have become disposable if they have some issues and that some parents get hung up on what other people will think or say. It becomes a self fulfilling prophesy.
The best of parents can have a problem child, but often there are reasons behind a child’s behavior and that needs to be dealt with, not by burying ones head in the ground. Children are not disposable.
