Female Ex-Teacher Gets Two More Years for Nude Photos Sent To Male Victim

Story here. Excerpt:

"A former teacher serving an eight-year prison sentence for having sex with a 13-year-old student agreed Wednesday to serve two more years for sending him nude photos of herself.

Rogers, 29, was arrested in February 2005 and pleaded no contest to having sexual intercourse and oral sex with the student. A judge suspended most of her eight-year sentence on the condition that she not contact the student or his family or use the Internet."

Six months ago, Circuit Judge Bart Stanley ordered Rogers to serve the rest of the sentence after she sent the photos to the boy, and prosecutors brought the new charges. The new sentence was added to the first term for a 10-year total."

37% of births in U.S. to unwed mothers

Preaching to the choir... article here. Excerpt:

"Never have fathers seemed so disposable, or so overlooked. A report out says 37 percent of all births in the United States last year were to unwed mothers. The figure is now at an all-time high, up a percentage point from last year.

But society does need to say something in defense of fatherhood. Long experience at dozens of honors banquets leads us to decisively say that children from traditional homes have advantages. Listen to an honors list, and you will be struck by how many winners come from those traditional mom and pop, Ozzie and Harriet homes.

The problem is particularly true for boys. A generation of boys has grown up without a father at home. The results have largely been disastrous. Men today constitute only 44 percent of college students. A boy is 30 percent more likely to drop out of school than a girl. A boy is three times as likely to be expelled from school as a girl. A boy is 10 percent more likely to skip school than a girl."

Here is one to watch - Star Athlete files DV claims in divorce papers

Story here.

The article states that the woman threw things, name-called, displayed outbursts in front of kids, spends lavishly, and is abusive. Excerpt:

'NEW YORK — Hoops superstar Jason Kidd yesterday slapped his knockout wife with shocking divorce papers - claiming he's an abused spouse.

The New Jersey Nets' All-Star point guard - once busted for allegedly hitting his sexy bride, Joumana, in the face over a french fry - charges in the explosive court document that she has been punching, kicking and throwing "household objects" at him virtually since their wedding day in 1997.

"The defendant's behavior has left the plaintiff concerned for his well-being," say the sensational papers, filed in Bergen County Superior Court in Hackensack.'

SF Bay mother convicted of assault... acquitted of 1st degree murder

Story here. Excerpt:

"A woman who pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity after throwing her three children into San Francisco Bay was acquitted Tuesday of first-degree murder but convicted of assault.

Tuesday's verdicts, which came after seven days of deliberation, do not make any conclusions about the woman's sanity. After determining her guilt, jurors will then decide whether she was legally sane at the time of the deaths."

PBS's "Breaking the Silence" Producers Forced to Apologize

This is good news, via Glenn Sacks' Jan. 9, 2007 e-Newsletter. The producers of "Breaking the Silence" have apologized for their misstatements. It takes them some time but at the end of the letter, they finally get to it, as follows:

"It was never our intent to accuse Dr. Loeliger of physically abusing his daughter or to create harm to his daughter. Although we believe that most viewers understand this, we sincerely regret if some viewers drew an inference from the film that we did not intend and do not endorse."

This is a victory-- but personally, I'd rather see this letter plus a full and public retraction of their anti-male/father biases (preferably on national TV and billboards all across America), with a full admission that they understand the *whole* truth about domestic violence and the rates of battery among all classes of people who live together.

Well, a fellow can dream, can't he?

NYTimes: The Dems are in fact "too macho"

On the heels of cartwheel celebrations over the ascension of Speaker Pelosi comes this latest from the NY Times, via a New Republic senior editor, castigating the Dems for being "too macho".

I don't recall the The Times or TNR castigating them for being "too fem" a few years back.

Politics makes for strange bedfellows; it also makes for some pretty bizarre editorials, too, especially when it's that peculiar brand known as "gender politics". In the mean time, issues get lost in the shuffle and other issues (eg: father's and men's rights) never get a chance to make it to the stage. Bread and circuses!

Toronto Star: Time to let dads in

Story here.. Excerpt:

Fathers from all backgrounds want to help raise their children, and great programs show them how, writes Andrea Gordon

...

"Every week, dads in their teens and early 20s meet for an evening to shoot some hoops or play floor hockey, hare a meal and talk about what's going on in their lives.

For Billey and his children, the benefits of a father support network are huge. It's provided companionship, a chance to blow off steam through sports, and valuable advice.

This wouldn't surprise Ed Bader of Thornhill. The retired family therapist, former priest and grandfather was something of a pioneer in the [Greater Toronto Area] in promoting the father's role. In 1999, he launched Focus on Fathers, which offers free courses in York Region for new dads and immigrant fathers and, this year, teenage fathers. He says modern fathers are "negotiating new turf," often without role models. So mutual support is critical."
