Well said. I would only be able to make such a decision I find in a chaotic situation. I might be leaving this summer for Northern Maine in the upbringing of a self sustained community. I cannot imagine taking him from my parents if things were bad but not bad enough as technically that would imply kidnapping. But in the event of major rioting and societal fallout, or pending natural disasters who knows, I would leave to go back and get him, while attempting to convince my parents to come along, even though my intuition tells me it a sad subliminal way that it is destined for us to part ways. I only wish they would 'wake up'. But alas, they are a few among many I wish the same.
