"A former teacher accused of having sex with a 13-year-old student and fleeing with him to Mexico is expected to plead guilty to reduced charges, her attorney said Tuesday.

James Martin Davis, the attorney for 26-year-old Kelsey Peterson, said his client will plead guilty Wednesday to federal charges of having sex with a minor across state lines.

It's similar to the original charge of crossing the border to have sex with a minor but doesn't carry a minimum 10-year-sentence, Davis said."

'A woman has been charged with withholding cancer medication from her 8-year-old autistic son, who prosecutors say likely will die because the cancer has returned.
...
In March... the child's oncologist ... filed a report of suspected neglect with the Department of Social Services after discovering Fraser's cancer had returned, something that should not have happened if he was on his medications.

The boy's father, Eric Fraser, now has full custody of his son in Saugus. He said Jeremy spends part of his day in a special education program.
...
"I'm pretty disgusted about the whole justice (system) and DSS," Fraser said. "Now my son's going to die."'

'A mother-to-be has been stabbed to death by another woman and her almost full-term baby cut from her womb, police have revealed.
...
A 23-year-old woman has been arrested.
...
Her body was found early on Saturday in a park in the city of Kennewick.'

The good news: The UK government's plan to close down all women's prisons has been rejected due to popular opinion.

Aging celebrity Joan Bakewell, ex-mistress of Harold Pinter, is not happy about this. In this article, she attempts to tug at our heart-strings to make us feel sympathy for female criminals, but not male ones. "Prison is hard for women". Isn't that the idea? If you can't do the time, don't do the crime...

As a 1970s feminist, she openly preaches double-standards. Get this:

"Prison is certainly not one of the places where women aspire to equal treatment."

Story here. Even the prosecutor believes that if the genders had been reversed, we'd be talking jail time, not probation. Excerpt:

'A 39-year-old Louisville woman who had two children with an underage boy was sentenced this morning to 20 of years probation...

Irene Gomez, whose children were conceived with the boy when he was 13 and 16, had pleaded guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor and attempted child sex assault as part of a plea bargain with prosecutors.'

Another gender bias. This time it is propounded by none other than India's first female president. Shame on her. Article here. Excerpt:

'NAGPUR: Even as there is talk about starting new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and increasing the number of seats in the existing ones, a move is afoot to open the country's first all-women engineering and technology-oriented institute in Amravati, President Pratibha Patil's hometown in Maharashtra.

The suggestion to start India's first all-women IIT at Amravati near Nagpur in Vidarbha had in fact been mooted by Saint Gadgebaba University vice-chancellor Kamal Singh. Patil followed it up when she became the country's first woman president last July.'

You read that correctly. According to this article, a new state program aimed at helping families will hire a coordinator specifically to look at how existing programs can be used to help fathers, or what new programs could be implemented for them. Excerpt:

"Traditional programs have been aimed at helping women, said Terence Ray, director of the Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative. "It's good to see that the movement has evolved into understanding that when you talk parenting, there's another parent," Ray said."

'A WOMAN who accused colourful broadcaster Derryn Hinch of sexually assaulting her has made an unreserved public apology.

Maryann Martinek, a former business partner of Hinch's, made the allegations in 2006 directly to Hinch.

Hinch said she also asked for $50,000 or she would go to the police and make the allegations public.

But Hinch also reported the matter to police who later recommended that no prosecution should proceed.'

P.S. Derryn Hinch is one of Australia's top talk radio stars.

'Clearfield police said a teenage girl's claims that she was raped in the middle of a church parking lot in broad daylight are false.

In a statement sent to the Deseret News on Friday, Clearfield Assistant Police Chief Greg Krusi said laboratory test results and other evidence analyzed did not match up with the girl's claims about being attacked.'

Story here. Excerpt:

"The mother of a three-year-old girl who starved to death showed more concern for the family's pet dog.

Tiffany Wright was left neglected and unloved to die alone locked in a squalid bedroom above the pub run by her mother and stepfather.

Yesterday Sabrina Hirst, 22, was jailed for 12 years after admitting the manslaughter of her daughter.
...
'Most members of the public will find it impossible to understand how you can treat your child this way.'

While Tiffany was dying upstairs, her mother was caught on CCTV in the pub expressing concern about one of her dogs not getting enough vitamins and not putting on weight."

Story here. Excerpt:

'A millionaire businesswoman who inflicted years of abuse on her two housekeepers held as virtual slaves in her suburban New York mansion has been jailed for 11 years.

Varsha Sabhnani, 46, was convicted on 12 charges after her victims testified they were beaten with brooms and umbrellas, slashed with knives, and forced to climb stairs and take freezing showers as punishment.

One victim was forced to eat dozens of chili peppers against her will, and then was forced to eat her own vomit when she could not keep the peppers down, prosecutors said.'

Article here. Excerpt:

'An independent think tank has today blamed the government's increasing reliance on "anti-paedophile" criminal record checks for making UK adults scared to have any contact with other people's children.

Civitas' report Licensed to Hug claims the checks have driven suspiscion of all adults, which has led in turn to a breakdown of communities. Afraid to tell off or even talk to misbehaving children, adults have become "deskilled" in dealing with younger generations, it argues.'

Front and center on the home page of msnbc.msn.com you can watch a video clip of Obama's speech today at the big "unity" appearance with Hillary.

Obama says that because of Ms. Clinton, girls today know that "women can do anything that the boys can do... and do it better... and do it in heels!"

Who is writing Obama's speeches, which are getting stupider by the week?
