Crucial Questions #2 - Parental Responsibility

Hello again, friends. It's time for another Crucial Question! If you refer to our previous post, titled 'Mischler Allegations Proven False, you'll notice the following:

Pike County resident Amy Mischler, former wife of Pikeville attorney Jonah Stevens, lobbied in front of the courthouse and the county attorney's office Friday with her son and a sign alleging that her ex-husband will not provide medical insurance for their children. Mischler, unemployed, alleged that county attorney Keith Hall was giving Stevens "special treatment" because they are friends.


Now, as you know, Mischler's entire argument was proven false. Stevens had, in fact, provided health insurance for the children. Moreover, he had provided cash to Mischler as well.

But this leads us to Crucial Question #2:

Q: Shouldn't Mischler bear at least some of the responsibility for maintaining health insurance for her own children?


It's a crucial question missed by the News-Express, and seemingly everyone else who has covered this case. What do YOU think?

No mother would parade a sick child around and claim it to be in the interest of the child.

This is clearly an attempt to embarrass the Father.

A real mother would have the child in best, resting where they belong.

I suppose in her mind it was a great chance to "get even" or cause trouble, even at the expense of her own child's health, which she was more than willing to risk.

This incident alone clearly demonstrates she is more interested in playing games than she is in being a mother to her own children.

We all know the Lord works in mysterious ways, but we can all breath a sigh of relief to know that she will be held accountable to God for her actions. Just as 1 John 3:10 tell us, "This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.".

I certainly agree the Lord works in mysterious ways and we all, not just Ms Mischler, will be Judged by a higher power. In the mean time we have to depend on the integrity of the legal system to determine what and who is right.
