Kids don't need role models, they need guidence and to learn the meaning of right and wrong so that they can decide what path to walk, rather than blindly following someone that they don't actually know.

Although I don't disagree with that - look at the amount of kids on here that idolize so called celebrities/sportstars simply because they are famous! Kids are influenced by such people - regardless of upbringing!
