Parents are so busy running the kids around to activities, if we could also tell grandparents and aunts and uncles, it would help.

The kids just have a place where they go, where their parents went to school, grandparents went to school. It's got tradition you can't replace by moving them somewhere else.

[Parents] think their kids can dress themselves and they can feed themselves and they can let themselves in the door, and I think a kid that age really needs as much if not more time with their parents than they did when they were 8 or 10,

One woman from the Congo talked about children running wild in the bush, outcast because their parents died of AIDS. She tries to persuade them to take food from her hands...and then, as she goes walking into the bush, she sees these shallow graves where children bury children. She takes them back to her home to give them a proper burial...These are AIDS orphans, children raising children with no values, no direction. What will become of them?

Parents are very open to the kids running around and playing and having a great time.

His parents used to own a house on Ninth Street and my grandparents owned a house on Ninth Street, so I used to go see him quite a bit and Sheriff Byrd and I have been good friends ever since, too.
