Girl, 14, filmed her brother's hanging

Story here. You think women are awful and hateful and uncaring now? Here is the next generation in process. Excerpt:

'A TEENAGE girl whose young brother accidentally hanged himself used her mobile phone to FILM the tragedy, cops have revealed.
...
It is believed a game went tragically wrong. Police are investigating after a post-mortem revealed the lad, eight, died from asphyxiation.
...
He said: “I cannot begin to think why she would have done that — surely she should have been trying to get him down from the bunk bed with her other brother.

“I asked the policeman if he knew why on earth she had done it but he wouldn’t say much more about it.

“He told me it was 14-year-old girl using her mobile phone and that it was part of the police investigation.”'

Glenn Sacks: Protest Father-Bashing Domestic Violence Ads!

Call to action here. Excerpt:

'Several hundred Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) buses feature misleading, father-bashing ads purporting to address the serious issue of domestic violence.

One ad depicts a happy little girl with the message "One day my husband will kill me." Another shows a smiling boy with the message "When I grow up, I will beat my wife."

The kids are talking about their fathers, and their pathology is due to their fathers' violence. The ads are, to put it bluntly, hate speech against fathers.'

College blogger touches the fire with 'Advice 4 Women: How to NOT Get a “Deserved” Raping'

Blog entry here. Excerpt:

'...had I been a less-than-understanding guy (i.e., a forceful-type of guy who always “gets what he wants by any means necessary”), I could have just as easily forced a kiss on her, or worse - waited until after the club let out to follow her to her car, then followed her to her house. And, when she got out her car, I could have been right there ready to pounce on her, saying: “I think you owe me something, lady!!”

Sound far-fetched? Seeing as girls get raped everyday around the world, it’s not an implausible story.

Now, had I gone through with the second example, I’d be called a “monster” who “preyed upon this girl for no reason,” and would be looked down upon for doing such a thing. And, like I said before, given the actions that were taken in the second example, that title would have been deserved.

But, what about the girl? What about HER part in the scenario?

RADAR ALERT: As We Approach Election Day, Tell Candidates to Fix VAWA Now!

RADAR has just completed 45 radio interviews around the country. We're still riding the momentum from our hugely successful Heritage conference on October 1.

And we just got news of a historic legal victory in California: a state appeals court ruled that California domestic violence laws discriminate against men because they only provide state funding for women and their children who use shelters and other programs.

For the first time, the DV industry on the defensive. Let's keep the momentum going.

One week from now is Election Day. At no other time of the year are politicians more receptive to hearing about concerns or grievances that potential voters have.

This week is prime time to call, fax, e-mail, or meet every candidate at the local, state, and national levels and tell them "Fix VAWA Now." Use the method you think will work, but let us mention that we have flyers you can use at our website.

Of course, as always, be courteous and polite.

India: Men suffering domestic violence unite

Story here. Excerpt:

'Sunday marked two years since the Domestic Violence (DV) Act came into effect. But some men observed it as black day. They say the act is inhuman since it ignores men completely.

Mohan (name changed, 30), a civil engineer with a construction company, had an arranged marriage two years ago and says he is being beaten up by his wife daily. "She wants to have control over me and wants me to do everything she says. My brother stays with me and she doesn't want me to support him or give money home.

Whenever she finds out that I have helped my family, or we have an altercation on the matter, she beats me with wooden sticks and iron rods," he said.'

Report card on boys troubling

Story here. Excerpt:

'The pervasive underachievement of boys is creating intense concern for parents. Last month, the federal government released a study that showed nearly 1 in 5 parents of boys had talked to their pediatrician about their son's emotional or behavioral issues (compared with 1 in 10 parents of girls). It's troubling for boys themselves too. Teenage girls report more anxiety and stress but boys between the ages of 15 and 19 are four times more likely to die at their own hands than their female classmates.
...
In West Englewood, veteran principal Tim King opened Urban Prep Charter Academy for Young Men, a single-gender school. He's working to get poor boys back on track academically—and headed to college.

More school administrators should follow their lead. Before the school year gets any further along, let's stop blaming the boy. Instead, let's ask ourselves if the schools are engaging them—and if not, let's figure out what we can do to create an educational system in which all our children can succeed.'

The other minority: Male teachers make an impression

Story here. Excerpt:

'Caley is one of only four male teachers in his school. Of the district’s 354 elementary teachers, only 37 are men.

That might come as no surprise. Men have been the minority among teachers in this country since the 19th century.

But this is the 21st century, when men and women aren’t railroaded into traditional roles. Things should be changing, right?

On the contrary, the number of men teaching school is at a 40-year low, according to the National Education Association.'

Police: McCain volunteer made up robbery story

Speaking of false accusations, I am not surprised to read this. When I read the initial story, I thought, "This is bunk; there are so many holes in it you could float campaign balloons through it." The liar said a 6'-4" black male was her attacker. Talk about pandering to racial stereotypes and prejudices against both men and blacks! But as long as men in general are considered fit targets for false accusations, should it come as any surprise that in a given case the liar would make the extra effort to say it was a black man who attacked her even if blacks make up only 10% of the population? These kinds of things are doubly disgusting and I will be extra annoyed if she doesn't do time for it, and I bet she'll get "psychiatric counseling" instead. Excerpt:

Mutant gene found in 70 percent of prostate cancer

Article here. Excerpt:

'WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A mutated gene previously linked to breast cancer has been found in 70 percent of prostate tumors as well, U.S. researchers reported on Friday.

They found the gene BP1 was overactive in samples of prostate tumors removed from patients and said their finding suggests the gene may underlie other cancers too.

"We have previously published that it is active in 80 percent of (ductal) breast cancer (samples tested) and 63 percent of acute myeloid leukemia, and now we are finding it in prostate cancer," Dr. Patricia Berg of the George Washington University Medical Center, who led the study, said in a telephone interview.'

Teacher Accused Of Tying Students To Chairs

Story here. Excerpt:

'NEW BRITAIN, Conn. -- A New Britain special education teacher has pleaded not guilty to charges she abused autistic children.

Michelle Campbell, 36, had no comment outside New Britain Superior Court Thursday on the charges that she abused children at the Chamberlain School. However, parents of Campbell's alleged victims had a lot to say about the charges brought against the teacher.

"This was putting children in a closet in the dark, holding them in the closet, holding the door, not letting them out," said spokeswoman for the alleged victims' families, Lisa Nkonoki. "Waterboarding if you will -- taking the child, putting water up their nostrils and face so they couldn't breath."
...
Parent Alertba Marin said that her autistic son, one of the alleged victims, doesn't want to sleep alone in bed any more.

"He doesn’t want to sleep with the light off," she said.'
