'The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children & Families estimated that in 2006, four children died each day as a result of maltreatment. More than 1,500 children died that year out of the 905,000 who were confirmed victims of maltreatment. More than three-quarters (78 percent) of children who were killed were younger than 4 years of age; 12 percent were 4-7 years of age; 5 percent were 8-11 years of age; and 5 percent were 12-17 years of age.
...
• Six in ten (61 percent) alleged perpetrators of child maltreatment were mother or father figures, with the majority being mother figures (39 percent). Other relatives comprised 14 percent of alleged perpetrators. Paramours of the caretaking parent or other non-related adults accounted for 16 percent of all cases.'

From Jeremy S.: Remember all this: Girl Missing, Homes of 2 Men Searched? They even towed the cars of the two suspect men and wasted valuable time and resources looking for a male suspect. Maybe even two. This is what they got: Calif. Sunday school teacher booked in child death. Excerpt:

'TRACY, Calif. -A California Sunday school teacher was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and killing an 8-year-old girl whose body was stuffed into a suitcase found in an irrigation pond.

Melissa Huckaby, 28, was arrested at 11:55 p.m., about five hours after she drove herself to the station at the request of police, according to Tracy Police Sgt. Tony Sheneman.

"She gave enough information to us during the course of the interview that probable cause was there to arrest her," said Sheneman.

'The patriarchy works in mysterious ways in society, from the big things like women getting paid 75 cents on the dollar to how we construct our language. In public discourse on violence, especially in journalism, men are often left out of the equation altogether, as if the violence women are subjected to is without a male perpetrator.

By using the passive voice when writing news stories, the blame is shifted from the men commiting this violence to the women targeted. We talk about violence against women instead of violence by men. By situating the terms of the discourse like this, we are ignoring that men are the ones raping and abusing women. Instead, women are continually portrayed as victims at the hands of a vague male entity. We should be talking about it as men being violent toward their girlfriends, wives, friends and family and working to eradicate this violence.

Story here. Excerpt:

"Last month, four students were expelled and three others suspended. South African media at the time said they were accused of trying to force students into relationships and to engage in sexual contact.

Winfrey herself hasn't given details of the misconduct. But she said in the newspaper interview that it was 'insulting' that the family of one of the expelled girls had complained to the press even though she had been warned before about her behavior.
...
'The majority of girls are thriving, really fulfilling the dream and vision I had,' Winfrey told the newspaper. 'They really have exceeded any expectations I had for them.'

'In spite of everything that's happened, what keeps me inspired and hopeful is the heart of every girl, because they are wonderful, they are magnificent.'"

I truly wonder whether or not Oprah would've said that if the students were *boys* -- just a thought.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Horowitz documented 150 college courses at 12 elite universities, from Columbia in New York to the University of California at Santa Cruz, which he calls "the worst school in America" and whose highest ranking professors are the Communist lesbians Angela Davis and Bettina Aptheker. Other institutions along the way include Duke, Penn State, the University of Colorado, and the University of Southern California.

Horowitz quotes directly from the syllabus of each course he critiques, lists assigned readings, and reports on the credentials and background of the instructor paid to teach the course. The most offensive departments are women's studies, black studies, and peace studies.

These so-called academic departments teach students to hate America, to believe that women, blacks, and all minorities are the victims of oppression and racism, and that America is a land of injustice that needs drastic change in our social structure. The universities teach William Ayers-style "social justice," which is the template for a socialist political agenda.'

Via an F4J USA Alert:

From Donald Tenn aka Spiderman:

The response from the hundreds of telephone calls and e-mails from F4J members and supporters was nothing less than phenomena. I would like to say "THANK YOU" to you all. The TEAMwork used to pull this off was fantastic. Fathers-4-Justice members and supporters can achieve anything when we UNITE!

It was conveyed to my attorney that the support from F4J members and supporters was overwhelming for the prosecutor’s office. It is this support that may have been instrumental in the rescheduling of our jury trial.

That's right: THE JURY TRIAL for both Paul and Donald has been rescheduled!

So save some energy for the NEXT round. More updates will come as the events progress.

Article here. You will also notice that (of course) there are snippets of anti-male propaganda both snuck in and slapping you in the face. Excerpt:

"OTTAWA — More than four out of five jobs that have been lost in Canada since October 2008 have been jobs held by men, according to the newest data from Statistics Canada.

The trend, in which men represent more than 81 per cent of the 357,000 jobs lost over the past six months, is prompting some to refer to this economic downturn as a "he-cession."

Statistics Canada said another 61,300 Canadians lost their jobs in the month of March, pushing the unemployment rate up to its highest point in the past seven years.

Men between the ages of 25 and 54 have been hit particularly hard in the ailing economy, making up more than 55 per cent of the jobs lost in Canada since October."

Story here. Excerpt:

'The mother of a 21-year-old assault victim who died of his injuries received permission Tuesday for his sperm to be collected post-mortem, giving her the chance to have a grandchild through a surrogate mother.

Travis County Probate Judge Guy Herman ordered the medical examiner's office to maintain the body of Nikolas Colton Evans until his sperm can be taken.

Herman also said officials at the office must provide access so an expert can take the specimen.

Herman issued the orders after an emergency hearing at the request of Marissa Evans, whose son died Sunday after being punched and falling during a March 27 assault on East Sixth Street.'

A 19 year old Cuban native, Mariafelix Morales is accused of killing the son she secretly gave birth to in her Shelbyville Tennessee home. Even in rural areas like these youll find these headlines.

'On May 19, 1977, 20-year-old Colleen Stan was hitchhiking in California and accepted a ride from a young couple with a baby; Janice and Cameron Hooker had come to an agreement that if Janice could have a child, Cameron could find a woman to whip and torture, as long as he promised never to have intercourse with her.

I figured a good-news story was in order. A father reunited with his two boys. Excerpt:

"A MELBOURNE father's speedy rescue of his two kidnapped sons has embarrassed Swedish police, who struggled with the case for six months.

Armed with just a pair of binoculars and a rental car, it took the dad only one week to find his missing sons, aged 11 and ten, in Sweden.

"It is a genuine failing mark to the work of the police,'' columnist Lars Lindstrom wrote in the Swedish newspaper Expressen.

"(The father) went on leave, flew from Melbourne to Sweden and found them in a week. How did that happen?''"
