Brilliant but truth is what is that way they should go?
Do you know, there are children who will never explore armed robbery no matter what?
I'm not talking about moral lessons or forcing children to go to church. There's an encounter you'll have that you'll not wish for another life.
I've heard many people say Pastor's Kids(PKs) are the most corrupt but do you know that some of these Pastors focus more on the congregation than their families. Many are hypothetical hence their children want to explore other lives.
Is there a possibility to tear away? Yes..but those children with a firm spiritual grooming will ALWAYS return because they'd soon discover the emptiness in other ways.Don't forget, that godly parents are not the regular religious parents.
I agree there are forces that want them to stray But God too wants them to walk the path of righteousness.

Summary,
Moral lessons are not enough.

I quite agree with you

Yes she deserves all the abuses, because if it was a teacher that just flog her son, she would have insulted the hell out of that teacher. Let her deal with her disgraceful son.
