In this day and time it's a wonder that people can be so shocked when a mother or father exploit there children. For whatever reason they do it, monetary gain or just tired of being broke. Or if they feel that if they don't get all they can now in life. they won't be around later to help their kids. There is always good intention but it gets twisted and lost along the way. Try to stay on the ups with your kids, love them unconditionally.
