How to use parent in a sentence?

  1. Thomas Homan:

    We have always separated families under two situations, one when we can't establish them as a parent and that child is being trafficked, the second situation when we separate is when we prosecute.

  2. Jane Houlihan:

    As a parent, you don't know what you're picking up out of the produce bin, is it elevated because of the cultivar -- the particular type of sweet potato or carrot ? Or is it elevated because it's grown in an area where the soil has naturally high levels of lead ? Answering these questions will be the responsibility of government regulators and industry, Houlihan said. The FDA has a Closer to Zero campaign, for example, which could take on the issue.CNN has reached out to The FDA for comment but hasn't yet received a response.

  3. Joe Biden:

    I'm not joking about this. Imagine being a parent looking at a child, and you can't afford -- you have no house to borrow against, you have no savings. It's wrong. But all the things in that bill are going to reduce prices and costs for middle class and working class people. It's going to reduce their costs.

  4. Keenan Overton:

    Fisher-Price and Mattel, their parent company, we are in negotiations to discuss kind of what we expect from talking about and speaking out on the dangers of this chair, our main thing is to inform other people so, that it won't happen to somebody else.

  5. Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum:

    I want every kid in Tulsa to feel safe to walk down the street in their neighborhood. No Tulsa kid should have to fear being tackled and cuffed for walking down the street. I viewed that footage last night more as a parent than a mayor, i know the officers in that unit focus on removal of illegal guns from the streets, but the goal of that work should be that families feel safe in their neighborhood. This instance accomplished the opposite.
