6 Non-Sexual Lessons Every Father Must Teach His Son:
Thousands of children are dead.
Thousands of children are under the rubble.
Thousands of children are missing limbs.
Thousands of children are missing parents.
Thousands of children are fighting disease.
Thousands of children are having surgeries performed on them without anesthesia.
Thousands of children have been starved.
Thousands of children have been bombed out of their homes.
