Guilty: Mother who locked two-year-old son in flooded kitchen during weekend of partying

Story here. Excerpt:

"A mother was facing jail last night for leaving her toddler son alone in a flooded kitchen while she spent a weekend partying.

Kelly Tollerton, 22, was warned that prison was 'almost inevitable' after a judge heard how she left the two-year-old boy, caged in the kitchen by a baby gate, to fend for himself.

He had been forced to sift through bags of rubbish for food 'like a dog'."

Female Teacher Accused Of Having Sex With Four Teen Boys

Story here. Excerpt:

'BARTOW, Fla. -- A Polk County middle school teacher was arrested Thursday for allegedly having sex with young boys. Currently, 32-year-old Danielle Jones of Auburndale is still being paid by the school board.

Two of the boys were her former students and then they started sharing their sexual trysts with their friends. One of the boys told another teacher at Stambough Middle School (see map) last year. When investigators started peeling back the layers, they found there were at least three other boys Jones was allegedly having sex with.

"It's painfully obvious to us that she is a pedophile," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

Jones was arrested Thursday and charged with two counts each of unlawful sexual activity with minors and lewd/lascivious battery."'

Letter to the editor on child support and casino winnings

I managed to get a letter published on the new law in Colorado requiring casinos to withhold winnings to pay CS. My argument is that the problem in collecting support is not recalcitrant dads, but a system that is biased against dads. The sponsor stated he was going after dads. When a specific group is targeted by law, that is a clear form of bias, even if the law is written in gender neutral language.

You can view the letter and make comments here.

Right now, most comments are providing opposing viewpoints. I would welcome a few supportive comments. Thanks.

"ABA's predatory feminist lawyers" on WorldNetDaily

TEN’s Senior Policy Analyst, David R. Usher lands premier exposure on WorldNetDaily for his latest piece, ABA's predatory feminist lawyers. Backed by RADAR’s latest special report (.pdf file), Dave exposes some of the inner workings of the American Bar Association’s ( ABA ) attack on American parenthood for profit. This no holds barred piece is a must read, as will be the follow-up pieces forming his first major investigative series. Excerpt:

'The ABA Domestic Violence Standards of Practice displays overt sex bias obvious to even an untrained individual. The victim is repeatedly defined as female. For example: "The lawyer should discuss with the client her wishes regarding temporary custody and visitation, keeping in mind jurisdictional issues."

The additional commentary attached to ABA Standards of Practice document extends sex biases even further: "May a client flee for safety to another state with her children without being charged criminally?"

"Violent Partners" offers better solutions to DV issues

Dr. Linda G Mills, a member of SAFE's Speaker's Bureau releases her new book "Violent Partners". From the book site:

'A radical new take on the crisis of intimate abuse, Violent Partners argues that as a culture we misunderstand the root causes and basic effects of abuse, and until that changes there is no hope of fixing the problem. Dr. Linda Mills challenges assumptions, tears down myths, and offer solutions, all the while telling riveting stories of couples who have conquered violence in their relationships. In Violent Partners, she describes several programs that hold promise for addressing intimate abuse, including two nationally known and groundbreaking treatment programs- Peacemaking Circles and Healing Circles.
...
Linda G. Mills, J.D., Ph.D., is Founder of the Center on Violence and Recovery at New York University, where she is also a Professor and Senior Vice Provost.'

Men prefer being solo over a bad marriage: study

Article here. Excerpt:

'SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Bachelor Carl Weisman got fed up of being classified as a playboy, a loser or a commitment-phobe so he set out to find out exactly why he and a growing number of eligible men were steering clear of marriage.

Weisman, 49, conducted a survey of 1,533 heterosexual men to research a book aiming to give women an insight into why some smart, successful men opted to stay single -- and help lifelong bachelors understand why they are still the solo man at parties.

...
Weisman also found that financial issues, both positive and negative, played a large part in men's fear of commitment.

"Those with little money said they would have nothing to offer a partner, with some suffering self-esteem issues and withdrawing from the dating pool," said Weisman, an engineer-turned-author with two books now published.

"While those who are financially sound were terrified what a bad divorce could do to them."

Weisman said his research blew away any idea that single men were unhappy.

Hayman fire starter out after 6 years

Story here. The woman who started the Hayman fire spent six years in prison and must now pay restitution in the millions of dollars.

Here's what the fire did:

"The June 2002 blaze torched 138,000 acres, destroyed 133 homes and 466 outbuildings, and forced the evacuation of 8,000 people. Five firefighters were killed as they traveled to Colorado to fight the blaze."

Most are saying the sentence was not long enough. I suspect the "female sentencing discount" myself.

Justices say Legislature wrong on felony child support

Story here. Excerpt:

'West Virginia legislators violated state and national constitutions when they forced fathers facing felony child support charges to prove they couldn't pay, the Supreme Court of Appeals decided May 23.

The Justices unanimously erased a law stating that in child support prosecutions "the defendant's alleged inability to reasonably provide the required support may be raised only as an affirmative defense, after reasonable notice to the State."

The law "unconstitutionally shifts to a defendant the burden of disproving an element of the offense," Justice Robin Davis wrote. "We have previously observed that it is a foundation of criminal law that the State must prove all the elements of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt.'

Lying 13-YO puts two men in jail

This piece of work claimed to be 19 and divorced on her MySpace page. She was, in fact, 13. Two guys were sentenced believing her to be legal. Her family admitted that she is promiscuous and did not yet change her MySpace profile. Excerpt:

'ORANGE COUNTy, Fla. -- A 13-year-old girl's sexual shenanigans have put a second man behind bars. Morris Williams, 22, told the judge he thought the girl was 18-years-old, but he found out Tuesday that ignorance is not a defense.
...
Williams said Dean picked him up on the street and after a few conversations they had sex. When he heard she was not 18, he went to her father.

"He was like 'well, she's 13,'" Williams said of a conversation with Dean's father.
...
Dean's family admits Alisha still stays out late and has yet to delete her misleading MySpace page.

Williams will serve six years probation with the first year in jail. The other five years he will have to wear an ankle monitor. His attorney says he will come back to court to ask again for a shorter sentence.'

RADAR ALERT: Mad Hatter Justice at the ABA Commission on Domestic Violence

Did you read the story about Alice in Wonderland? Remember when the Queen of Hearts issued her verdict?

"Sentence first! Verdict afterwards."

This Mad Hatter concept of justice is not just a child’s fantasy tale – it’s also found at the Commission on Domestic Violence (CODV) of the American Bar Association. Comb through its website – and read its publications. You will never find the words, "due process for the accused," "false allegation" or "innocent until proven guilty."

The CODV has published a two-page flyer (.pdf file) called "10 Myths about Custody and Domestic Violence and How to Counter Them." The flyer consists of a series of 19 claims about DV and child custody.

Scan the CODV claims and then compare them with the actual research. Folks, get ready for an Alice-in-Wonderland experience.
