Where are the wise elders who value all children?

And are willing to help out parents of young children who are being run ragged between working and parenting, with little or no support from grandparents because those individulas do not live locally?
Think of the health benefits: the sense of continuing to be worthwhile in one's life by building a relationship with great children. They'll love you; you'll love them. Your health will improve. The health of the parents will improve. The children will be better off with more people who love them in their lives. It's potentially a win-win-win solution....
.....so why isn't this happening? Or if it is, please tell me because I am unaware.
Looking for enlightened volunteer grandparents in the Vancouver/Burnaby/North Van/West Van area...

'Gracious one, play. The universe is an empty shell wherein your mind frolics infinitely.' —Vigyan Bhairav Tantra
An Osho quote for your meditation:
'The function of parents is not to help children grow; they will grow without you. Your function is to support, to nourish, to help what is already growing. Don't give directions and don't give ideals. Don't tell them what is right and what is wrong— let them find it through their own experience.
Children are so intelligent. Yes, they need your guidance and they need your help– they are helpless, but they are utterly intelegent too. So the parent has to be very alert about how far to help and when to stop helping. It is good to hold your child's hand when he is learning to walk, but don't go on holding his hand for his whole life.'
Blessings
