How to keep children away from sin
I let my 16 year old daughter visit one of her friends from school. My kids aren't home schooled or go to a Christian church and I have never had any problems like this in the past. She spent the night with her friend and smoked Marijuana, drank, and had boys over. All of this took place with her friends parents knowing. I was shocked to find out that her friends parents also smoke Marijuana. These are people I've known my whole life and I had no idea they were like that. They don't attend my church and I figured they must attend another church somewhere else.
My daughter came home and told me about it. She told me that she had fun and when I asked her to pray about it she said she wasn't going to pray because she felt she did nothing wrong. I also found a bikini her friend had let her borrow without my permission and she now has this idea that Marijuana should be legal and has even taken her money from her bank account and donated it to some group called NORML. When I looked at their website I was shocked and hurt. I went to these peoples house to confront them, and they said they didn't see anything wrong with it. They thought I would be happy to know my child was supervised instead of them going out and getting drunk at a party! My child doesn't go to parties in the first place!! I also found out that her friends mom is a witch. I had no idea even after living around them all of these years.
How do parents who follow Christ deal with people like this. I refuse to let my daughter go back over there but I can't be in control of what she does at school. She's 16 and will be an adult soon and I'm afraid this incident has harmed her spiritually.
