The movie...

'Catch me if you can' got me thinking...

When parents fail to realize what a wonderful gift life gives them in the form of their children, and that they have a great responsibility towards that gift, they cause huge, huge damage. For parent a child is a child, not a pal, for subconsciously the child centers his/her whole attention and life on his parents. Even if he does not understand what his parents are thinking, he/she is very protective about them. Of course, parents make mistakes, for we are but human, but we need to set things right as best we can. We need to teach our child the difference between right and wrong and that it is not all right or fun to do wrong things or cheat anyone....Once there is a child, the parent has to remember that there have to be changes in lifestyle, in choices, in, well, the whole of life........or else, it is the child who suffers needlessly and painfully...

If there is a compassionate but firm, correct yet approachable, kind but straightforward mentor, as was the detective in the film, he can reform a life gone totally haywire...

If society allows you to have a second chance, without blame or stigma, the contribution of this reformed person to society is invaluable...

Watch the film....
