FBI statistics confirms your opinions are lies! 71% of all murders committed in the home are committed by someone living in the home. 23% by someone the family kmows. Only 6% by a complete stranger. Enough of your lying nonsense. Stupid dumb bitch!

Producing pornography is certainly different form knowingly sending women and children into an ordeal, the details of which are familiar to the women. And money alone does not seem to be a sufficient explanation - but may be it is.

It should not be a surprise that females will be active in the trafficking of other women. Money is money.
Many of the producers and distributors of pornography are female. It seems their lawyers are virtually always female.
For a while there clubs in Lebanon would allow their female "employees" to contact a few of their female acquaintances in Europe and the UK. If any of those friends showed up, they too would be drugged and have their signatures forged on contracts to work in the club. It was a way for the club to acquire a better quality product.

One tv show recently featured a woman involved in smuggling of drugs and weapons as balking when it came to the smuggling of women for the sex trade. It was of course pure Hollywood. In the real world, a smuggler only considers the risks and the rewards of smuggling the merchandise, whatever that merchandise might be.

Re: California Department of Corrections Misses Another One

FoolsGold — Mon, 30 May 2011 07:43:50 -0000

I've no actual knowledge of the various classifications used in the world of corrections and parole. I have a feeling that there is pressure to over-classify in the same manner that other bureaucracies have an inherent tendency to over-classify everything.

Was this guy actually dangerous? Clearly! How many were likewise classified? In a parole officer any less over-worked with a file bearing an alarming category as one that is more routine?

Recently a Terrorist was extradited back to the USA. Yes. He was classified as a terrorist. What had he done? He and his live-in girlfriend went out for a night on the town and got a bit looped. The girl started packing her suitcase and the guy simply insisted on unpacking her bag. No violence, no threat of violence. This continued for awhile but eventually he got a gun and waved it around. He was drunk and in his own home. He never pointed it at his girlfriend or anyone else. He never threatened to harm her if she tried to leave. As often happens with guns and alcohol, the gun went off and his TV set didn't work too well after that. After being admitted to bail, he fled the country and was eventually arrested in Central America. In order to bolster its budget demands and inflate the ego of his officers, the sheriff classified this incident as a Terrorist Act. Forever the computers will classify the incident as terrorism and the poor, drunken slob who otherwise has been law abiding as a terrorist.

With such aggressive use of that Rubber Stamp, the Sheriff has done more damage than any sheriff ever did with a Rubber Hose. How is this poor slob going to be treated when he is released on parole? How much time is going to be wasted by parole officers on this file when other files that truly merit such rubber stamps are also in the in-box?

We create systems and we endow automatons who are rubber-stamp happy with great powers and then we have the audacity to complain when a young girl gets lured to an elementary school by some creepy pervert. Sure these two incidents took place on separate coasts and are totally unrelated. Yet it should be remembered that each burdens the system with senseless time-wasting clutter. So why did the California Department of Corrections have a "missed opportunity"? Why did the local school system have a "missed opportunity"? Probably because they were too busy with the equivalent of "terrorists" who shoot their own TV sets. So who is ultimately responsible? The sheriff that rubber stamped the file on a drunk who shot his own TV set, not just the parole officer who merely glanced at a file or the school janitor who left a door unlocked. The culture of the civil service is one of Loyal Lackeys who will watch a clock until they qualify for their pensions and will never rock the boat by insisting on doing a good job.

Harry, you read a book written by a disgraced cop whose point of view was that he was working with fools who could not distort the evidence the way he - Steve Thomas - could. He respected almost no one and lied by omission or distortion of the facts of the case in order to make his theory form the basis of a book that would sell to a gullible public ignorant of the truth. As a detective yourself, I am very surprised that you would look at a case in such a superficial manner and reach a conclusion that does not support the evidence in the case. Perhaps you should look up Steve Thomas's deposition to discover how much of his theory and the contents of his book were admitted, under oath, as distortions.

Re: Robin Sax and Darrell Goodwin on the Chasen Case

I think much of the problem relates to the tightly grouped shots.
It shows he can shoot, but it doesn't prove lack of rage. It might indicate a lack of road rage, but a frustrated car jacker or robber could just be both angry and a calm shooter.

I still tend to put my money on premeditated murder rather than some low-life's desperate measure to rob drivers and hope they don't drive off at the first sign of trouble.

Pedestrians and bicyclists stand out in Beverly Hills. A bicycle is not unknown as an escape vehicle but I am very doubtful in this case. I surely doubt any sort of random robbery rather than premeditated murder.

I would be doubtful of anyone who referred to this low-level blabbermouth who expected to get paid after doing the job as a professional. And I would certainly be interested in that initial tipster to the AMW show. It seems the tipster would have known that hot-heated dim-bulb of a suspect would certainly be "holding court in the street" when the cops approached him.

Laura - I have read about this disease and taught myself about it many years ago. Your article was extremely interesting filled with the signs to look for if someone is caring for your loved ones. It is interesting that a patient can aquire this name from their doctor - yet it could all relate to what a mother, guardian, etc. nurse - did to cause the trauma or poisoning etc. Thanks for sharing this informative feature.

>Munchausen by Proxy is child abuse by health professionals...
Often a physician enhances his career with such allegations particularly when a mother tries to control treatment and force the doctor to provide evidence of his treatment choices. The simple declaration of Munchausen can indeed be viewed as child abuse.
Often hospitals have separate rooms set up with concealed cameras to catch actual Munchausen situations but often the allegations are false.

Yeah, well if Grayon's biodad abused drugs and is violent then how will that influence Grayson? What I'm getting at here FOLKS is the fact of nature versus nurture. Nature-wise, perhaps Grayson is already prone to drug abuse. Nurture-wise, if he's raised by his biodad, I don't even want to think about what influences he may get. It makes me sick to my stomach.

How dare you tell me that my parents are manipulative and self-centered. They are anything BUT that. They are the most selfless people I know.

And NO, I went to meet my biological family in Ohio against my parents' wishes. They thought it would be extremely unhealthy for me to do so and they thought it would be emotionally unbearable.

I resent your saying that I am bragging and lacking of any compassion. You do NOT know me nor do I ever want you to get to know me. Your comments are simply a waste of my time. And just for your information, I still communicate with my biological family; I send them cards, call on their birthdays or to check-in, make plans to visit my niece and nephews. When I discovered from my grandmother that my biological mother was dying, I cried endlessly. I have a heart and you are in absolutely no position to say otherwise.

And thank you very much but I donate money to the Anti-Defamation League and do volunteer work when I can find the time considering I'm a full-time student in college.

If my comments sound arrogant or pissed off, it's because YOUR absurd, hurtful comments have instigated such comments.

I truly do not appreciate you or your judgments. Good day to you!

Re: Baby Vaughn: An Adopted Child’s Perspective

Adoptee72 — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:22:32 -0000

Grayson is not adopted, he has been living with people who may want to adopt him but have not done so legally and therefore are holding him illegally - this has been confirmed repeatedly in court only for the Vaughns to appeal yet again and drag it out even longer. They are not thinking about what is best for Grayson - their behaviour in the media is evidence of that. The best interests of a child are served when they can stay with their biological family and since Grayson's father has ALWAYS wanted to raise him, that is where he belongs. The Vaughns are the villains in this piece as they have deliberately dragged this case out so they can use the excuse that they are the only family Grayson has ever known - not good enough. It is nice that you had a great life with your adoptive family; it is equally sad that your biological family is the trainwreck that you describe. The difference between you and me and Grayson is that he does not have to be adopted as he has a father who wants him, a father who is fighting for him, a father who has had to win the right to raise him - he will never have to know what it feels like to be adopted because he will be where he belongs, with his real family.

Your adopters sound very manipulative and self-centered. How dare they burden you, as a child, with so much negative information about your bio relatives? They must be very insecure class snobs to feel the need to rub your face in their misfortune.

And was it they who drug you to Ohio to parade you in front of your family for the manic-depressive parade at 16? Absolutely vile.

Sounds like they got what they wanted, however; a grateful adoptee solider who crows about their upper-middle class privilege and comparing it to the less fortunate.

"For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required." -- Luke 12:48

It doesn't sound like your adoptive parents expected much of you. Your writing certainly doesn't reflect someone who does much for OTHERS, and is completely void of compassion for those who have been less fortunate than you.

I'm glad you hit the jackpot in the adoption lottery--not every adoptee is as "lucky". But your incessant bragging betrays your assumed upbringing is quite gauche indeed.
