I don’t let parents off the hook so easily by thinking our ‘culture’ has weakened parent’s ability to take charge of their children. Irregardless of where society is now or where it is going, this should be looked at exactly as we look at any drug dealer’s actions. In many ways this is worse as a heroin addict knows what they are getting into when buying from a dealer. The children are being purposefully and criminally lead to believe that this is appropriate behavior by an adult. There is no reason why this should be downplayed without legal action against the parents that allowed illegal activities such as this to go on. The ‘host’ mother should be charged as the criminal that she is. No exceptions. Laws were clearly broken, enforce them.
