Here, at YouTube, is some video from the Fatherless Day Rally in Los Angeles.

Fatherless Day Rally, Los Angeles
(The speech given at this rally has been dubbed in due to poor sound quality.)

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."

Story here. Excerpt:

'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.

Story here. Excerpt:

'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?

Video report here.

"Prime News" reports on a flurry of teacher sex scandals, one allegedly involving eight members of a school baseball team."

File this under humor-- dark humor, but humor nonetheless. Excerpt:

'PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — A struggling single parent and real estate agent is trying to sell her house and find a husband. She’s auctioning off both her home and herself in a package deal on eBay and Craigslist.
...
Her eBay auction ends July 2 and asks for a starting bid of 99 cents with a shipping cost of $500,000. The auction has not yet received any bids.

Traboscia says she has already been contacted by one man in Italy, who is arranging a trip to South Florida to visit her.'

The story that is destined just not to die... the latest chapter is here. Excerpt:

'BOSTON - The principal of a Massachusetts high school who said a group of students intentionally got pregnant stood by his comments Thursday, saying his information “was and is accurate.”

In his first public statement since the controversy erupted earlier this month, Gloucester High School principal Joseph Sullivan said he does not specifically remember using the word “pact” but does not dispute it.
...
The principal said his only direct source of information about the intentional pregnancies was the former nurse practitioner at the health center. He said he also heard “verbal staff reports and student/staff chatter.”'

Story here. Excerpt:

"A mother whose baby died of a heroin and methadone overdose after she left him unsupervised to go on a drug binge was today jailed for five years.

Sabrina Ross, a former prostitute, would regularly pass out at her home in Bristol, leaving 14-month old son Rio well within reach of Class A drugs and their substitutes, a court heard."

Story here. The kicker is that she claims she was raped forcibly by the 13-year-old and now has a private attorney (as opposed to a public defender) representing her gratis. Excerpt:

'Then the girl says two friends left the room, leaving her alone with the boy who she says had been her friend up until then. She says he forced himself on her. The girl says she told her school counselor about it a month later.

"I wanted help because it was my first time and I was scared," she says.

The counselor went to police and before long this girl who was 14 at the time, was being charged with raping the boy who was a few months younger and still 13 years old. Kansas law says sex with anyone under 14, even if it's consensual, is rape. Deciding to actually prosecute a child in this situation is another matter.'
