Evans woman charged with making false rape claim against deputy

Story here. Excerpt:

'An Evans woman was charged Tuesday with falsely accusing a deputy of raping her during a weekend traffic stop.

Kelsey Alane Long, 23, was charged with making a false report of a crime, possession of a Schedule III drug, possession of a controlled substance, obstruction and several traffic charges. She is being held in the Columbia County Detention Center without bond, according to sheriff’s Capt. Steve Morris.

Long told a deputy taking her complaint at Georgia Regents Medical Center early Sunday that a deputy raped her in the front yard of a Martinez home about 2:30 a.m. during a traffic stop. The deputy taking her complaint told Long that making a false report of a crime was a felony, but she wanted to file the report anyway, according to a sheriff’s office incident report.'

Rhonda Eisenberg, ex-teacher, allowed to write former student whose child she bore

Article here. Excerpt:

'In July, we told you about Greeley high school teacher Rhonda Eisenberg's arrest for sexual assault in a case involving what was at the time an underage student.

Eisenberg subsequently pleaded guilty in the matter, and she was sentenced yesterday. But the resolution of the case was complicated by two facts: The student fathered Eisenberg's child, and he's now legally an adult, who a judge will allow to exchange letters with the woman convicted of assaulting him. Photos, video, the original arrest affidavit and more below.
...
"She continues to work with teenage boys," the note added.
...
As expected, Eisenberg was given actual time behind bars -- ninety days' worth. She's also required to register as a sex offender and undergo four years of sex-offender intensive supervised probation -- and as reported by CBS4, she didn't gripe about the punishment when addressing the court.'

California Agriculture Teacher Given 5-Month Sentence, Had Sex With Underage Student

Article here. Excerpt:

'Merced, CA – Melody Carter-McCabe was arrested and retained on a $250,000 bail last summer for allegedly engaging in a relationship with one of her students. The 27-year-old carried on a yearlong sexual relationship with a 15-year-old beginning back in 2010. McCabe was the boy’s mentor in the Future Farmers of America program.

The Livingston High School agriculture teacher initially faced up to 12 years in prison if convicted, as she had been charged with nine felony counts of unlawful sex with a minor.

However Monday, after McCabe pled no contest to the charges, a judge sentenced the former educator to five months in the Merced County jail. She is scheduled to report to the jail on Thursday to start her detainment and will be given credit for any time she’s already served leading up to the sentencing. After release, McCabe will be under a five year felony probation but will not have to register as a sexual offender.'

Senate Committee Approves Father-Daughter Bill

Article here. Excerpt:

'A Senate Committee approved a bill that would allow school districts to have father-daughter dances and other gender-exclusive events, as long as comparable events for the opposite gender is offered.

The bill now heads to the Senate floor.

The bill, 2013-S 0012 – submitted by Cranston Sen. Hannah Gallo – would alter state gender discrimination laws, which Cranston school lawyers have said traditional father-daughter dances violate. A complaint from the mother of a Cranston girl triggered the review, prompting Cranston Supt. Judith Lundsten to cancel the district's dance.'

F&F: National Putative Father Registry: A Bad Idea Promoted by Adoption Lawyers

Article here. Excerpt:

'For readers who haven’t seen pieces I’ve written on these scandalous inventions, putative father registries are entities designed to remove fathers from the process of adopting children. They’re located in the bureaucracy of states, usually in the Department of Health, perhaps in the Bureau of Vital records. A registry is created by state law that requires every unmarried man who believes he may have fathered a child to file a form with the registry laying claim to any such child. If he does that and and a child was in fact conceived and the mother carries it to term and places the child for adoption, the father is entitled to notice of the adoption and an opportunity to assert his parental rights. Failure to file the form means the court is free to finalize the adoption without telling him.

20% of High School Aged Boys in US Diagnosed with ADHD

Article here. Excerpt:

'Nearly one in five high school age boys in the United States and 11 percent of school-age children over all have received a medical diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to new data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

These rates reflect a marked rise over the last decade and could fuel growing concern among many doctors that the A.D.H.D. diagnosis and its medication are overused in American children.
...
“Those are astronomical numbers. I’m floored,” said Dr. William Graf, a pediatric neurologist in New Haven and a professor at the Yale School of Medicine. He added, “Mild symptoms are being diagnosed so readily, which goes well beyond the disorder and beyond the zone of ambiguity to pure enhancement of children who are otherwise healthy.”'

'Whilst at PyCon, a conference for developers, Adria Richards was seated ten rows back from the stage. A row behind her, two men were having a conversation where they referenced "forking repos" and "big dongles". Adria overheard and decided she did not like what she heard, since conversations of an offensive nature are not allowed in PyCon's guidelines. She decided to tweet to her 10,000+ twitter followers in the industry, instead of speaking to them directly as suggested in the guidelines. The events that followed would lead to both parties getting fired.

Who will fight for the rights of military fathers?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Here's a sad but true story. It starts with a young couple living in North Carolina, married two years, wife pregnant, husband in the Army Reserves.

He's deployed to Afghanistan for a year, and she moves to Maryland to live with her parents and newborn daughter. One year later, a week before the child's father comes home from Afghanistan, the wife texts her husband to say she's divorcing him — she claimed abandonment, even though they had kept in touch weekly — and then takes two thirds of the money they had saved.
...
The wife had a bachelor's degree and finally decided to get a job. So now they were making close to the same amount, she grossing $2,300 a month and he $2,600. She had the added expense of day care, at $860 a month, but she was still living for free with her parents.

As Qualified Men Dwindle, Military Looks For A Few Good Women

Article here. Excerpt:

'When the Pentagon said earlier this year that it would open ground combat jobs to women, it was cast in terms of giving women equal opportunities in the workplace — the military workplace.

But the move has practical considerations, too. The military needs qualified people to fill its ranks, and it's increasingly harder to find them among men.

"It's fairly common knowledge that our population of military-age young men, who qualify for the military, is declining," Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said in an interview with NPR just after the Pentagon announced that women no longer be excluded from ground combat jobs.

Too many potential male recruits have criminal records, drop out of high school or have drug problems. In addition, the rising obesity rate is also a factor.'

Protesters decry infant circumcision

Story here. Excerpt:

'The people carrying signs Saturday in Pine Grove Park across from Port Huron Hospital were protesting cuts — but not to health care spending or state government.

Members of Intact Michigan were protesting infant circumcision.

“We believe that since girls are protected under the law from genital cutting, males also should be protected under the law from genital cutting until they’re old enough to decide,” said Kaitlyn Young, who organized the protest.

“We’re not against circumcision per se,” she said. “We’re against it being forced on infants.”'
