Dear Abby : Camp raid immoral on many grounds

DEAR ABBY: I wish you had gone a bit further in your criticism of the terrorist raid on the children’s camp reported by “Angry in Richfield, Minn.” b irst, there is the criminal matter. Two men displayed guns, apparently threateningly. This is (in California, at least) a crime—brandishing a firearm. Children were shoved and cuffed. This is battery. The threat with a loaded gun is assault. Subjecting children to assault and battery is child abuse. Two girls were taken from the others and shots were fired. This is kidnapping. Not allowing the other children to leave is false imprisonment. Some children did escape and left the area unsupervised. This, given the responsibility of the camp, which staged this farce, is child endangerment. The fact that it was planned makes the entry of the armed men into the children’s sleeping quarters burglary. There may be others, but I count eight crimes for certain. The second point is one of civil law. Since the father was “surprised,” I assume neither his prior

assent nor that of his child was attained. If that’s the case, he and his child have direct cause for civil action against each of the “terrorists,” the camp director, the camp itself, and the church that sponsored the event for each of the crimes listed, even if the district attorney doesn’t bring criminal charges. Third, the lesson the children will learn from this episode: It is all right to engage in criminal behavior and terrorism in the name of Christianity. I really doubt that this is what Christ had in mind, and I can find no scriptural justification for such an attitude, though there are many Scriptures that seem to argue to the contrary. I realize that this letter is long but, if you print it, it might encourage other “Christians” to think again before they do something similar. Sign me ... LEGALLY SPEAKING * * * DEAR ABBY: Please print the enclosed item from your column. I used

this idea and it worked wonders. “Dear Agnes: Now that it’s almost Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for relatives like you with whom I can be perfectly frank! “For years our families have been exchanging Christmas gifts. At first they were modest little toys for the kids, and some inexpensive doodad for the grown-ups. Somehow, it got out of hand, and every year the gifts became more costly. “Let’s face it, the spending, shopping, gift-wrapping and delivering have become a chore, so let’s knock off buying presents for the adults, and just send gifts to the youngsters this Christmas. I will if you will, OK? “This idea isn’t original. I got it from Dear Abby’s column. It makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it? Love, Your Cousin Sue” * * * DEAR ABBY: With reference to the people whose uncurtained bathroom window caused their neighbors much concern: I read somewhere

about a family that built a new home and ordered a floor-to-ceiling one-way glass window for their bathroom. Well, they found out much later that it had been installed wrong-side out! MARY F. COLE, HOUSTON * * * DEAR ABBY: Re “Bachelor’s Day”: It would certainly be a surprise to Andrew Carnegie’s daughter, Margaret, to learn that her father was still a bachelor after marrying Louise Whitfield (Marga ret’s mother) in 1887.
