Examples of Parents in a Sentence

1. George Takei:

   What we have is this endless cycle, the repetition of this kind of horror, injustice being inflicted on minority people, and we see it again today on our southern borders, but we've reached a new, grotesque low. We were together with our parents. Our families were intact. What we see today now is this incredible inhumanity of children being torn away from their parents.

2. Alicia Witt:

   The circumstances around my parents’ sudden passings have become fodder for press, and there are some misconceptions rolling around - understandably so, this is very delicate for me to write because i’m wanting to honor their privacy, which they held so tightly. there’s an awful irony in the fact that, because of the very lengths they went to in order to protect their privacy in life - that privacy has been stripped away in death.

3. Robert Murray:

   Great progress has been made, but there still is a pretty steady stream of poor quality food coming in to the school, we as parents and teachers are responsible for a lot of that.

4. Nancy Saslow:

   His life is work, he’s had several jobs in prison. He works at construction, he works at a number of other things. He facilitates a men’s group, which is more or less a hospice group… He paints a great deal. His paintings are quite extraordinary, especially for someone who is untrained. However, Saslow made it clear Erik's attempt to move on doesn't eliminate the fact he commited a terrible crime against his own parents. I don’t want to paint him as Saint Erik, but I will tell you, this is someone I have heard the California Department of Corrections [say] they have no problems with [him]… basically a model prisoner, she said. I think he does what he can… to find some sort of peace.

5. Tara Skelton:

   This bill gives 500 parents the power to choose. That’s less than one percent of the children who actually need the help.
