Some say, Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result is a sign of insanity. If my child comes up missing, does praying then, make me insane? “No, and I think God does the exact opposite, he says to ask, to seek. God says to be like the widow in front of the judge asking for justice, asking for justice and asking for justice.”

The unknown is a different pain when you are going through something like this, losing a child. Not knowing where your child is, you have to hand your pain over to God, and that is something we are not used to doing. Everything in our culture tells us that we are supposed to do it on our own with positive thinking, and that is not what God wants us to do. He wants us to come to him.

The trauma of having a child abducted is an emotional ride that we never want to feel. The wondering of what happened, are they alive, who could have done this or even knowing who abducted them is overwhelming, to say the least. The number of suicides of parents who have lost a child to abduction averages 1 a day.

Most parents think there is only one type of abduction, that is, someone driving around snatching children up in neighborhoods. But there are many types of abductions that we are unaware of, from the foster care systems, internet abductions, sex-trafficking, divorced spouses that take the children, some that are never seen again. As parents, we need to be aware, to teach our children and even tell them no at times to help prevent this from happening.

Inside Shepherd's Hill Academy, there are two types of audiences that pass through. There is the one where the kids have bought into the culture hook, line and sinker. Giving in to their temptations, whatever their bodies want, give it, whatever feels good, whether it be drugs, sex, it doesn’t matter the harm it can do.

On the other hand, we have the audience that does not necessarily understand the social cues, that have issues with friends and family. They have issues with self-esteem and self-harm. This audience needs to be taught more of the social cues in life as well as both audiences being taught how to deal with temptations in today's society.

There’s a pretty good case to be made that allowing our kids unencumbered access to “all things digital” has been--and still is--a terrible mistake. This is particularly true when it comes to the indiscriminate way we’ve, carte blanche, divvied out these addictive devices we call smartphones, to our kids. But, has the convenience and seemingly endless stream of information and amusement been worth the fallout?
