Who's the puppet master? George Soros.
We all have a natural instinct to protect children from harm. It's never fun to see a child hurt, even if it's just a scraped knee.

I'm a firm believer and always have been that there aren't all that many things that you should not express to children in an age-appropriate manner, and as a parent, that is your job - to be discerning as to whether or not your child can handle the information, provided you have the ability to express yourself in that age-appropriate way.

These children have brought such love and joy to their adopting parents, and have grown up so full of love and joy!
