"It Takes a Village to Raise A Child"  is attributed to an old African proverb. The origin of this phrase has no documented history. However, it teaches eternal truth. There has been many books written on this premise. All relate to a community taking care of a child. When I was a kid, the neighborhood took care of us. They were the eyes and ears of my parents. We didn't need babysitters. If I hooked school or said something I wasn't suppose to say or acted disrespectful, somehow my mother a …
