Michael, Forgiveness is part of healing.  I had such anger inside of me for what was done to my adopted children, by their birth family, the "system", their therapist who is serving time for sexual crimes against a child,  the people who enabled them and those who contributed or were responsible for their deaths.  The pain was killing me.   Then one day I realized that salvation could be theirs and if I did not forgive them in my heart, I could not receive forgiveness.  That was the day that my world changed.  I began to heal.  I will never speak to any of these people, but that step brought me unbelievable peace.  I hope you can forgive and move on. 

Parents need to know what the age of consent is in their state.  I am so amazed at the number of parents who assume it is 18.  In PA a 16 year old can have a relationship with a 30 year old and it is not illegal.  ALSO Parents can monitor the home computer but your kid can access the internet with a PSP Play Station Portable which has a wifi connect feature.  Even if you don't have a wireless internet in your home, they are everywhere and the kids know all about it.  Just get educated!
