J The Family Council tditor aote: the vm,i ounci consists oi Judje psychiatrist, toree clergymen a newspaper ed to a women's editar and two writers fcacn article i a ramman of an acmal report The Family Council does noi rive adiflee: U merely report: on problems that have been dealt with by rftponslble ien!-1e ani" edmselors Martha S. Nat should come t give with us. - ; Mrs. E. J. Children belong with their parents. Martha I am a young married . woman with one child." My problem concerns my kid brotherfowho is 16 and liviOg with my parents. My mother is terribly upset about Na because he,has got ten involved with a married woman of 22 living in the neigborhoodo Th woman is separated frcgbj her husband and ha &o children. My brother visits her .and spends the night with h A.' :. I want Nat to come to live ' with us because I feel we can ".manage, him better. JJy. hus band is fond, of him and will ing to have him. My father is an invalid and neither of my parents undertsand American ways. They came here 12 years ago and have never really adjusted. Nat heeds undertsanding, but he can't get it at home. Mrs. E. J-In America, like any place in theworld, chil dren belong witib their? par ents. Our children . think we don't know anything, butj we aren't so stupid as they think. Our son has 'gotten mixed up with a Bad woman. We have talked "oir hearts out trying to make him under4 stand this. I know that soon he'll come tc his: senses: Right now this woman -has a terrible hold over him. Marsha would not be able to keep-him away from her. -' " ; Martha thinks we want to keep him for v selfish reasons because we would be lonely without him. It's " true we'd sacrifice for bis sake if we thought it would be good for him. All Martha knows is to criticize us for not under standing America. o ...... The Council: Apparently Martha takas a very dim view of her parents' competence and has made so secret of it. Naturally her pareifts resent it and feel threatened by her influence over their son. It is too bad thatothe issue has been raised because too much is at stake here to al low time or energy for irrele vant squabbles. v We don't think, that under standing is a monopoly of well-adjusted Americans, but we do?think that a change of environment often brings about a shake-up in an indivi dual's emotional ; state " and mental "outlook. When a 16- year-old becomes sexually "in volved with an unscrupulous woman, there is dynamite around the place and the far ther away Nat can be gotten, the better off he'll be for the moment. Even if Martha lives in the same community, a temporary change of house hold might bring about favor able inner change. Such .a change, however, is far from the whole answer to this serious problem5. Other answeri may be ' found through an inquiry into Nat's over-all situation. This family should consider how Nat is getting along in school, wheth er he, has any social life with his own age; group, whether he , has interests in sports, clubs, or jhobbies. v . Boys who meet frustration in school and ;who haver few or no other interests are "very likely to . seek some expres sion, some sense of power through sex. If Nat is slack ing in schoolwork, this fam ily should see what can be done about bringing it up to par. They should encourage him to earn his own pocket money, to develop a moderate degree of skill in sports and to involve himself in some su pervised group activty. ' In general, this family should be aware : that what Nat needs more than anything else is to find self-respect and confidence. These will help him built moral strength and a more sensible attitude to ward his own life. (COPYRIGHT 1959, GEN-. ERAL FEATURES CORP.)
