  1. I don't know what to think about the previous comments on this opening.
    Sometimes a place like this can be helpful to young parents who are having difficulties and feel they have nowhere else to turn. Some churches can help them but are not really physically equipped and young people are so reluctant to go there for help.
    I can also see how it seems like this organization can be meddlesome in a private life of those using it. I DO think these folks are trying to make things better for the people needing some guidance with their daily living. I just hope it helps to prevent some of the child abuse we hear about which may be caused by utter frustration. By caring about and helping to educate young parents who find themselves parents all of a sudden, with no clue as to how to carry out this new role, it may just make our little corner of the world a better place. I pray God will bless those seeking the help and those giving it.

    I can't say it any better than the anon above. Child abuse is a major epidemic and real life horror story to those involved. I have used the Parent/Child Center in the past and think they are a wonderful resource. :)

  3. Has Alice Emmons ever done ANYTHING to support the hard working residents that fuel her taxpayer funded philanthropy?

    Come to think of it, Alice has minimal social skills being a 55 year old spinster, living in her parent's home, and never having a real job.

    No wonder with leadership like that why Springfield is a dying town. Way to go Alice!

  4. That remark is just rude and hateful.

  5. The Self-entitled victim mentality is a major problem with younger generations in this country. It's basically a way of saying, "I want all the attention and respect without earning it, and you better do it or your out of my life".

    This is what the Emerge and Parent Child centers foster/enable without thinking about the damage their causing. Real abuse can be handled by the police, a hospital and a psychologist if needed.

    The number of fleas and freeloaders who have latched onto and meddle in the family rearing process are unbeleivable.
