Judge Christine Laing QC spared the ‘cosseted’ pair jail,
suspending a one-year custodial sentence for 18 months to give them ‘one last chance.

The family is the smallest unit of #society; this is where it all starts. There is no greater legacy than to raise children with a strong value system; Your value system has a lot to do with how your kids turn out.
Values act as the signposts, the compass that sets them in the right direction. To spare the next generation from the scourge of materialism, we must teach by example, that their true value lies in their inner qualities - kindness, sensitivity, thoughtfulness and compassion and not their looks, performance, possessions, and money.
Teach them to embrace hard work, discipline, and diligence as a means to independence and success and not to equate self worth with networth.
Parenting never ends.
Be watchful.
Be prayerful.
I will be giving a presentation on “Children, Money and Values” at this Saturday’s Bestman Games Children’s Finance Fair. Do join us.
